Abstract
The study of automated guided vehicle behavior when moving on a plane occupies practically a central place in the automobile theory. While an automated vehicle travels at a relatively low speed, controlling it with only a kinematics model may work. However, as automated vehicles are designed to travel at higher speeds, dynamics modelling becomes important. For the studies concerning the automated vehicle modeling and control we can refer to [5], [6], [8], and [14]; they deal only with some simplified low-order linear models. These models are too simple for studying the integrated longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Works such as [9] and [13] highlight the contribution of the internal variables such as the rotation angles and velocities of the wheels into the dynamics model. The exponential stabilization of some equilibria of automated vehicles was subject of our work in [1].
L. Beji would like to thank the Tunisian Minister of High Education Scientific Research and Technology for the invitation within the framework of the 2006- SERST program.
