A method to mitigate the collision risk with oncoming vehicles during such manoeuvres is presented in this work. A point mass analysis of such a scenario is first done to determine the importance of speed for mitigating the collision risk with the oncoming vehicle. A characteristic parameter was identified, which correlates well with the need to increase or decrease speed, in order to reduce the collision risk. This finding was then verified in experiments using a Volvo XC90 test vehicle. A closed-loop longitudinal acceleration controller for collision mitigation with oncoming vehicles is then presented. The longitudinal control is combined with yaw stability control using control allocation to form an integrated contro...

Employing Severity of Injury to Contextualize Complex Risk Mitigation Scenarios

“…Arikere et al [4] developed an integrated controller that performs both longitudinal acceleration and yaw stability control. The aim is to better balance the oncoming vehicle collision risk against loss of control.…”

Trends in vehicle motion control for automated driving on public roads

“…Work on recovering from such situations was developed in [38] and more recently in [39]. In [40] control allocation for avoidance maneuvers with oncoming vehicles is developed. There it is shown that for some combinations of obstacle length, ego vehicle and oncoming vehicle speed even acceleration may be required to minimize the collision risk.…”

A Novel Trajectory Planning Method for Automated Vehicles Under Parameter Decision Framework

“…Finite driving behaviors sometimes seems to be conservative or have complicated switch rules to consider more feasible actions. For example, an emergency forward collision condition, despite emergency braking and emergency lane-changing with acceleration or deceleration, can be chosen in some situations [10], [11]. Meanwhile, the great uncertainty and non-linearity of drivers' behaviors can be considered [6].…”

“…When longitudinal velocity changes are considered, the linear model is transformed into a nonlinear model, which can greatly increase the system complexity. Integrated longitudinal and lateral control is seldom used in trajectory planning [10]. In addition, some research employs predefined trajectory shapes (such as spine curves or polynomial curves [19]- [22]), which are closely related to tasks but lack flexibility when encountering different scenarios and changeable decisions.…”
