An intelligent overtaking assistant for autonomous racing cars

Abstract

Nowadays, advanced driver assistance systems are becoming more popular since they are being used more and more in commercial vehicles. Interest in advanced driver assistance systems is growing because they prevent car accidents and improve driving comfort. As a solution, computational/artificial intelligence applications have been employed in the literature to design advanced driver assistance systems. Control systems such as PID controllers, fuzzy logic based controllers are also widely used for advanced driver assistance systems. Recently, the usage of fuzzy logic based control systems in the control of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems has also increased significantly. Fuzzy logic based systems are preferred in many research areas because it is capable to imitate expert behavior even in complex systems. For example, fuzzy logic based control systems are effectively implemented especially decision-making applications, system modeling and control applications.
