The path tracking control problem for autonomous vehicle with uncertain dynamics requires simultaneous consideration of control optimality and safety-based performance constraints. In this paper, an adaptive optimal control method with prescribed performance is proposed to solve this problem, which contains two contributions: 1) by introducing a prescribed performance function (PPF) into adaptive dynamic programming (ADP), the controller can constrain the tracking error of the system within a specified performance boundary while optimizing the control cost; 2) the critic-only ADP is used for the controller design, which simplifies the commonly used actor-critic ADP scheme, and the convergence of the estimation error is guaranteed under FE conditions. On this basis, the neural network identification technique is introduced to deal with the unknown dynamic parameters of the vehicle system. The control scheme is able to strictly guarantee user-defined vehicle performance specifications with approximately optimal control performance. The stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously demonstrated by the Lyapunov method. In addition, the controller also embeds a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) compensator to approximate the nonlinear external disturbances of the autonomous vehicle. Finally, the efficiency of the controller to achieve autonomous vehicle path tracking is verified by CarSim-Simulink simulation.
