| Abstract | |
In nowadays society, automobile vehicles are getting more and more integrated to people\'s daily activities, as there are more than 1 billion of them on the streets around the world. As they are controlled by drivers, vehicles are subjected to failures caused by human mistakes that lead to accidents, injuries and others. Autonomous vehicle control has shown itself to be an alternative in the pursuit of damage reduction, and it is applied by different institutions in many countries. Therefore, it is a main subject in the area of control systems. This paper, relying on mathematical descriptions of vehicle behavior, aims to develop and apply an efficient autonomous control method that takes into account state-space formulation. This goal will be achieved by the use of control strategies based on Markovian Jump Linear Systems that will describe the highly non-linear dynamics of the vehicle in different operation points.
