Highlights A driver-automation shared steering control system for AVs is proposed. The SCR concept (Space Collision Risk) is proposed for adaptive authority allocation. MPC and APF based controller is presented for automatic path tracking. CarSim/Simulink co-simulation platform is constructed to verify the strategy. The proposed method shows its effectiveness in both static and dynamic obstacle situations.

    Abstract To avoid crashes caused by driver error in avoiding obstacles, a driver-centered steering assist controller with an adaptive authority allocation system is proposed for cooperative control purposes. To begin with, a concept of space collision risk (SCR) is introduced creatively for assessing the vehicle’s safety status in which the relative distance and the relative angle between the vehicle and the obstacle are taken into consideration. Meanwhile, the SCR-based authority allocation system is addressed to allocate steering authorities between the human driver and the assist controller adaptively to reduce SCR to zero as soon as possible. After that, an autonomous steering controller based on the model predictive control (MPC) technique and the artificial potential field (APF) method, considering not only the vehicle stability constraints but also roads and obstacles constraints, is developed to aid the human driver when necessary. In the end, the proposed algorithm is simulated in the CarSim-Simulink co-simulation platform under a series of typical scenarios, which shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented shared steering control method.
