Abstract

Handling the system's nonlinearity is a challenging aspect for the controllers' design. The four-wheel independent steering, four-wheel independent drive (4WIS4WID) electrical vehicle (EV) composes of a pneumatic tire, motors and suspension system, which all are nonlinear. The classical controller is not a suitable choice for a nonlinear system. An autonomous electric vehicle's path-tracking control (PTC) has applications such as autonomous driving, where the vehicle needs to follow a pre-determined trajectory or navigate through a complex environment. The works of literature on path-tracking control schemes are sophisticated to implement on the 4WIS4WID EV. In this paper, the nonlinearity of the plant has been controlled by direct inverse control (DIC) using artificial neural networks (ANN). The use of ANN makes the PTC a simple and effective solution. The simulation results demonstrate the dual enhancement of tracking accuracy and vehicle stability by implementing the proposed controller.
