Abstract

In this paper a fuzzy behavior based decision control is presented. A behavior is described by one or more fuzzy controllers reacting to external stimulus, and a state variable (denoted behavior activity) measuring how evident are the conditions of application of the knowledge coded in the fuzzy controllers. The autonomous vehicle decision control is composed by several behaviors of this kind, each one feeding an arbitrator with the activity and action values. The arbitrator evaluates the final action to send to the actuators taking into consideration each behavior activity and action values. Two arbitration methods are proposed. Results of simulations are presented and conclusions are drawn.
