Automatic Steering Algorithm for the Local Road

In order to perform automatic steering in complicated road environments, such as the local road, it is not suitable to use traditional technique of running the road center or giving the course beforehand. On the other hand, in this research, not only coordinates but road width is defined as road information. Thereby, we can create the course, which vehicles run in available area of the road. In this paper, we propose about the technique of creating a target course on real time and course tracking controller with a high control performance. And we report the result of the experiment for verification of the proposed technique.
