Lane-keeping assistance design for road vehicles is a multi-objective design problem that needs to simultaneously maintain lane tracking, ensure driver comfort, provide vehicle stability, and minimize conflict between the driver and the autonomous controller. In this work, a cooperative control strategy is proposed for lane-keeping keeping by integrating driving monitoring, variable level of assistance allocation, and human-in-the-loop control. In the first stage, a time-varying physical driver loading pattern is identified based on a relationship between lateral acceleration, road curvature, and the measured maximum driver torque.

To overcome the major drawback of model-dependent approaches, an optimal model-free fuzzy controller (OMFFC) based on the estimation of the unknown dynamic function of the system is proposed. A time-delay estimation (TDE) technique is effectively exploited to approximate the unknown dynamic function of the system.
