This paper proposes a switched velocity-dependent path-following control method for autonomous ground vehicles under uncertain cornering stiffness and time-varying velocity. A switched polytopic linear-parameter-varying (LPV) model combining path-following and vehicle lateral dynamics is established, where the velocity-dependent parameters are divided into several switched regions. In each region, a trapezoidal polytope is adopted to describe the varying parameters. A global $H_{\infty }$ performance analysis is carried out for the switched polytopic LPV vehicle system based on the average dwell time approach with multiple Lyapunov functions. Based on the analysis, a switched velocity-dependent controller is synthesized to achieve a desired path-following performance by regulating the steering angle of the front wheels. The proposed switched path-following control specializes in handling large range of varying velocity, and achieves superior path-following performance compared with the conventional gain-scheduling control. Simulations are carried out for typical road maneuvers to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. The results are also applicable to other LPV analysis and synthesis conditions involving time-varying parameters of large varying ranges.
