Abstract
In this paper, a collision avoidance method by steering for automobiles is proposed. A collision avoidance system by steering is expected to avoid collision in the case of the high-speed range in which collision can not be avoided by only braking. However, such systems need to have ability of environmental recognition and trajectory planning in highly dynamic situations. The present paper proposes a collision avoidance method based hydrodynamic velocity potential approach for collision avoidance by steering. Simulation results of collision avoidance demonstrated that the proposed method can avoid collision with obstacles even in the case with a moving obstacle and multiple obstacles.
