Abstract

The past few years have seen a massive improvement in self-driving vehicle technology. However, many challenges remain ahead. For example, the robust autonomous control of heavy-duty vehicles is still an issue. Furthermore, gear shifting in the driveline affects state estimation and autonomous control, as it abruptly changes powertrain dynamics. This paper proposes a robust recursive discrete-time Markov jump linear system technique for achieving autonomous driveline control. The algorithm is tested for a truck bodywork. Experiments show that the proposed recursive controller outperforms its LMI-based counterpart in terms of tracking error and can complete the test track in scenarios where the nominal LMI-based version cannot.
