Description
Path-following steering 3(2) channel PDT1/PT1 controller.
The path to be followed is specified as a ChBezierCurve object and the target point is defined to be the point on that path that is closest to the current location of the sentinel point. The sentinel point should never leave the end or beginning of the path.
The controller is sensitive to tire relaxiation, when steering oscillations occure and do not calm down after a short driving distance, Kp should be reduced carefully.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ ChPathSteeringControllerXT() [1/2]
| chrono::vehicle::ChPathSteeringControllerXT::ChPathSteeringControllerXT | ( | std::shared_ptr< ChBezierCurve > | path, |
| bool | isClosedPath = false, |
||
| double | max_wheel_turn_angle = 0.0 |
||
| ) |
Construct a steering controller to track the specified path.
This version uses default controller parameters (zero gains). The user is responsible for calling SetGains and SetLookAheadDistance.
◆ ChPathSteeringControllerXT() [2/2]
| chrono::vehicle::ChPathSteeringControllerXT::ChPathSteeringControllerXT | ( | const std::string & | filename, |
| std::shared_ptr< ChBezierCurve > | path, | ||
| bool | isClosedPath = false, |
||
| double | max_wheel_turn_angle = 0.0 |
||
| ) |
Construct a steering controller to track the specified path.
This version reads controller gains and lookahead distance from the specified JSON file.
Member Function Documentation
◆ CalcTargetLocation()
|
overridevirtual |
Calculate the current target point location.
The target point is the point on the associated path that is closest to the current location of the sentinel point.
Implements chrono::vehicle::ChSteeringController.
◆ Reset()
|
overridevirtual |
Reset the PID controller.
This function resets the underlying path tracker using the current location of the sentinel point.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChSteeringController.
