Description
Path-following steering PID 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 parameters of a steering controller can also be specified through a JSON file; sample JSON input file:
{
"Gains":
{
"Kp": 0.5,
"Ki" : 0.0,
"Kd" : 0.0
}, "Lookahead Distance": 20.0
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ ChPathSteeringControllerPID() [1/2]
| chrono::vehicle::ChPathSteeringControllerPID::ChPathSteeringControllerPID | ( | std::shared_ptr< ChBezierCurve > | path | ) |
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.
◆ ChPathSteeringControllerPID() [2/2]
| chrono::vehicle::ChPathSteeringControllerPID::ChPathSteeringControllerPID | ( | const std::string & | filename, |
| std::shared_ptr< ChBezierCurve > | path | ||
| ) |
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.
