Vehicle Control and State Estimation for Autonomous Driving

Introduction

Vehicle control for trajectory tracking is an essential module of autonomous driving. In this independent project, we assume that trajectory in a preview horizon is provided by the higher level layers. Optimal control and model predictive control (MPC) algorithms are implemented to the test vehicle to achieve desirable control preformances. State estimation algorithms such as Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) are also applied to obtain estimation of the vehicle states.
