The time-optimal control problem is stated in a path-parametric formulation such that existing reliable numerical methods for real-time nonlinear MPC can be used. Building on previous work on timeoptimal driving, we present an approach based on a sequential quadratic programming type algorithm with online propagation of second order derivatives. As an illustration of our method, we provide closed-loop simulation results based on a vehicle model identified for small-scale electric race cars. publisher: IEEE date: 2016 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/4007/1/07810277.pdf identifier: Verschueren, Robin and Zanon, Mario and Quirynen, Rien and Diehl, Moritz Time-optimal race car driving using an online exact hessian based nonlinear MPC algorithm.
