Aiming at the problems of low tracking accuracy of autonomous vehicles in the road with large curvature curves, the influences of road curvature on the lateral control strategy were focused, the lateral control strategy was improved and optimized based on the traditional model predictive control(MPC) algorithm from three aspects of vehicle model modeling, yaw stability and time domain optimization, respectively. The road curvature was integrated into the vehicle model, and an error dynamics model with curvature feedforward was established. And then, a lateral control strategy was designed based on curvature feedforward MPC algorithm. Then, a lateral stability constraint consisting of lateral vehicle speed and steady-state lateral angular velocity was added to the strategy to enhance the lateral stability of the vehicles under high curvature conditions. A MAP map was established based on genetic algorithm to optimize the prediction and control time domains of the strategy, taking into account the relationships among vehicle speed, road curvature and time domain. Simulation analysis was conducted, and the results show that the improved lateral control strategy may effectively improve the path tracking precision and lateral stability of the vehicles. Finally, the effectivenesses of the curvature feedforward MPC strategy were verified through real vehicle road tests.
