description A robust and high-performance lateral control system is necessary for autonomous bus driving in complex downtown roads. In this paper, a Sliding Mode (SM) controller with an uncertainty observer is proposed to reduce the chattering phenomenon while ensuring robustness and maintaining the control performance. A stiffness gain is introduced in the cornering stiffness of rear wheels to compensate for the model uncertainty and external disturbance. For lane keeping and changing maneuvers, an optimal path planning algorithm is designed by considering dynamic constraints of the bus. The lane departure of bus is prevented with minimizing the lateral jerk through the sampling-based path regeneration process. The proposed lateral control system is compared to other conventional SM based controllers in the TRUCKSIM simulator. In an experiment with a real bus, lane keeping maneuver is conducted and compared with experienced human driver in the same driving course. Lane change maneuver is also tested with real bus to perform smooth lane transition while satisfying the lateral acceleration and yaw rate limitations.
