Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the control problem of target-point based path following for car-type vehicles. This special path following task arises from the needs of vision based guidance systems, where a given target-point located ahead of the vehicle, in the visual range of the camera, must follow a specified path. A solution to this problem is developed through a non linear transformation of the path following problem into a reference trajectory tracking problem, by modeling the target point as a virtual vehicle. Bounded feedback laws must be then used on the real vehicle's angular acceleration and the virtual vehicle's velocity, to achieve stability. The resulting controller is globally asymptotically stable with respect and the proof is demonstrated using Lyapunov based arguments and a bootstrap argument. The effectiveness of this controller has been illustrated through simulations.
