RNN Controller for Lane-Keeping Systems with Robustness and Safety Verification

초록

This paper proposes a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) controller for lane-keeping systems, effectively handling model uncertainties and disturbances. First, quadratic constraints cover the nonlinearities brought by the RNN controller, and the linear fractional transformation method models the dynamics of system uncertainties. Second, we prove the robust stability of the lane-keeping system in the presence of uncertain vehicle speed using a linear matrix inequality. Then, we define a reachable set for the lane-keeping system. Finally, to confirm the safety of the lane-keeping system with tracking error bound, we formulate semidefinite programming to approximate the outer set of the reachable set. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this approach confirms the stabilizing RNN controller and validates the safety with an untrained dataset with untrained varying road curvatures.
