Optimal PID control of an autonomous vehicle using Butterfly Optimization Algorithm BOA

Abstract

This paper present an optimal PID controller based on Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) in order to control the lateral dynamics of autonomous vehicles. This is the first time that this new algorithm will be used to search the optimal values, of the PID controller. The proposed controller show good results in term of lateral acceleration or yaw rate can be compared to those of PID-PSO and PID-GA.
