To improve the tracking accuracy and robustness of the path-tracking control model for intelligent vehicles under longitudinal and lateral coupling constraints, this paper utilizes the Kalman filter algorithm to design a longitudinal and lateral coordinated control (LLCC) strategy optimized by adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC). First, a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) vehicle dynamics model was established. Next, under the fuzzy adaptive Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) theory, the vehicle state parameter estimation and road adhesion coefficient (RAC) observer were designed to estimate vehicle speed (VS), yaw rate (YR), sideslip angle (SA), and RAC. Then, a layered control concept was adopted to design the path-tracking controller, with a target VS, YR, and SA as control objectives. An upper-level adaptive sliding mode controller was designed using RBF neural networks, while a lower-level tire force distribution controller was designed using distributed sequential quadratic programming (DSQP) to obtain an optimal tire driving force. Finally, the control strategy was validated using Carsim and Matlab/Simulink software under different road adhesion coefficients and speeds. The findings indicate that the optimized control strategy is capable of adaptively adjusting control parameters to accommodate various complex conditions, enhancing the tracking precision and robustness of vehicles even further.
