A review on vehicle modeling and control technics used for autonomous vehicle path following

The field of path tracking for autonomous vehicle has known wide development in the last few years especially with the appearance of new sophisticated control techniques. In this research a review on the basic models used in autonomous vehicle modeling and the most common control techniques applied for vehicle navigation along a predetermined path have been presented. Modeling of the vehicle can pass through geometric (position and dimension of the vehicle), kinematic (position, velocity and acceleration of the vehicle) or dynamic (internal and external forces) approaches. According to the selected model a control technique will be used to design a suitable controller that has the ability to guarantee high performance in term of stability and path tracking with small distance error.
