Longitudinal Control of Commercial Heavy Vehicles: Experimental Implementation

This report describes research which examined the effectiveness of nonlinear spacing policies in improving the vehicle following performance of relatively simple PID and PIQ controllers. Through experiments, It was shown that system responses and performance were improved without adding significant complexity to the controller design. The closed-loop experiments also showed that simple PID and PIQ controllers are able to achieve good performance when combined with nonlinear spacing policies.
