External disturbances, parameter perturbance, data delay and control lag provoke significant model mismatches. If not properly compensated, they can greatly deteriorate the control performance of autonomous vehicle, such as reduction of tracking accuracy or even loss of stability in extreme. However, existing approaches barely consider these uncertainties together. In the light of this, an adaptive strategy is presented for trajectory tracking control of autonomous vehicle to simultaneously cope with aforementioned factors. First of all, given the dynamic or kinematic characteristics among path, vehicle and steering actuator, an integrated dynamic model is constructed. To handle the control lag of the steering actuator, a first-order model is utilized to approximate the dynamics of the steering subsystem, which is then integrated into the vehicle dynamics to reformulate the tracking model as a lag-free one. Then, the hierarchical robust tracking controller is proposed to acquire reliable control commands. To prevent the system breakdown in the presence of data delay, the delay-dependent criterion is designed via linear parameter varying technique and integral inequality approach. Moreover, the controllers also consider both the H∞ index and the guaranteed cost one to guarantee the effectiveness and robustness of tracking commands. Subsequently, to enhance the adaptability of algorithm, a feedback gains scheduling mechanism is proposed to adaptively tune tracking commands among different robust gains leveraging the phase plane approach. Finally, several comparative cases are conducted in the hardware-in-the-loop platform to verify that proposed strategy has better capability on trajectory tracking in uncertain driving conditions.
