Integrated Stabilization and Collision Avoidance for Automated Vehicles in Emergency Scenarios

In this webinar, Matt Brown, Stanford Dynamic Design Lab, discusses techniques and design considerations that enable a controller to simultaneously handle lateral stabilization and collision avoidance.  Fully handling emergency collision avoidance requires an ability to coordinate both steering and brakes/throttle; directly modeling the coupling between lateral and longitudinal tire forces enables the controller to handle very difficult scenarios that require both limit steering and limit braking.
