METHOD OF DETERMINING AN ACQUISITION GUIDANCE PATH FOR A VEHICLE AND AN ACQUISITION GUIDANCE PATH SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

A system and method of determining an acquisition guidance path of a vehicle includes defining a desired guidance path for travel by the vehicle, determining a first acquisition factor of the acquisition guidance path between the vehicle and the desired guidance path, determining a second acquisition factor defining a ratio between a heading error and a lateral error of the acquisition guidance path, and calculating the acquisition guidance path based on the first acquisition factor and the second acquisition factor to control travel of the vehicle to the desired guidance path.
