Energy planning for unmanned road vehicles (URV)s is an important step for the management of the autonomous driving. This energy planning depends on the model for power consumption estimation related to URVs. Generally URVs are over-actuated, and this property leads to multiple kinematic configurations for driving. Consequently, it adds more constraints and more complexity for energy planning. In this paper, a Neuro-Fuzzy model is developed for power consumption estimation for different driving modes configurations of URV. Furthermore, a dynamic programming algorithm is applied to find the optimal velocity profile, and the optimal configuration mode in each segment of the road for an over-actuated URV called RobuCAR, used for experimental validation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
