A novel approach in Optimal trajectory identification for Autonomous driving in racetrack

The autonomous vehicle is one of the greatest challenges in modern vehicle design. This paper proposes a new technique to define the optimal trajectory in a feedback form for an autonomous car, moving on a track. The algorithm defines the trajectory taking into the account the vehicle dynamic instead of kinematic constraints, leading to a more robust path. The technique is also used to control the vehicle in feedback, providing the optimal maneuvers to track the defined path.
