To achieve accurately trajectory tracking in longitudinal and lateral motions simultaneously, a flatness disturbance-observer-based control scheme is developed to address the kinematic coupling issue of the vehicle, which can avoid extra modeling errors introduced by linearization. The main idea is that, derived from a suitable selection of flat outputs, the complex kinodynamic vehicle model is transformed into three fully-actuated subsystems with same structure, which will provide convenience for controller design. Then, in order to compensate the lumped disturbances caused by modeling and transformation, a disturbance-observer-based control strategy is designed via backstepping. Trajectory tracking control is accomplished through longitudinal, lateral and yaw motions simultaneously. The stability of the closed-loop dynamics is guaranteed in the framework of Lyapunov and input-to-state stability theories. Finally, the CarSim simulation tests demonstrate that the proposed integrated control method can successfully promote the trajectory tracking performance in different manoeuvres. 收起
