Abstract: This paper focuses on the trajectory tracking problem of unmanned vehicles. On the basis of selecting model predictive control theory as the theoretical basis of this study, firstly set the front wheel angle of the vehicle as the corresponding control quantity, and set the lateral position and yaw angle of the vehicle as the state quantity to establish the three-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the vehicle. Then, combined with the magic tire formula, in order to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the model, the existing model is linearized and discretized to complete the preliminary conception of the prediction model. On this basis, the relaxation factor and soft constraint are added to complete the establishment of the incremental linear time-varying model trajectory. After the model optimization is completed, it is verified through the Simulink/CarSim joint simulation platform. By setting different simulation conditions, simulated the complex working conditions encountered by the driverless vehicle as much as possible. After several simulation experiments, the trajectory tracking controller designed in this paper is under good road conditions. The maximum safe longitudinal driving speed is 68 km/h, which provides a data basis for subsequent in-depth research on driverless vehicles.
