Splined Speed Control using SpAM (Speed-based Acceleration Maps) for an Autonomous Ground Vehicle

There are many forms of speed control for an autonomous ground vehicle currently in development. Most use a simple PID controller to achieve a speed specified by a higher-level motion planning algorithm. Simple controllers may not provide a desired acceleration profile for a ground vehicle. Also,...
