@article{10902/10958, year = {2016}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/10958}, abstract = {The mathematical model of an electric vehicle, as well as the control system for avoiding pedestrians in urban traffic is described. The vehicle is modeled as a continuous system consisting of several subsystems. In addition, a set of sensors and actuators along with a two-level discrete control system are modeled. Based on this model, a pedestrian avoidance maneuver for typical speeds in city traffic is simulated. When the sensory system detects a pedestrian in the vehicle's path, the decision system calculates its trajectory. Using this information, the speed and/or direction that the vehicle must take in order to avoid the accident are estimated. These values are sent to the low-level controllers of the accelerator/brake and steering, which generate the signals to be applied to such systems to achieve the desired trajectory and speed.}, organization = {This work is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, projects “Automatización y Control Inteligente de Vehículos Eléctricos Urbanos” (ACIVEU, DPI2012-36959) and “Assisted Navigation through Natural Language” (NAVEGASE, DPI2014-53525-C3-1-R).}, publisher = {United Kingdom Simulation Society}, publisher = {International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science and Technology, 2016, 17(33), 8}, title = {Modelling, simulation and control of pedestrian avoidance maneuver for an urban electric vehicle}, author = {Alonso Rentería, Luciano and Pérez Oria, Juan María and Jiménez Avello, Agustín and Al-Hadithi, Basil Mohammed and Becerra, Víctor M.}, }
