Abstract

Two different control algorithms, sliding mode and MPC (Model Predictive Control) are employed to analyse the performance of a linear vehicle model equipped with an ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) system. Both controllers are analysed under critical TM (Transitional Maneuvers) to investigate their suitability for the ACC system. The simulation results, for the same scenario, from both controllers' approach have been compared. The results show that the MPC is more robust than the SMC (Sliding Model Controller). The results show that the SMC algorithm is not suitable for the proposed vehicle model. The shortcomings of the SMC have been highlighted and the comparisons are made with the previous studies. The proposed approach can be useful for the selection of the appropriate controller for the given application.
