Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) and Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE) are optimization-based control and estimation techniques that are able to deal with highly nonlinear, constrained, unstable and fast dynamic systems. In this chapter, these techniques are detailed, a descriptive nonlinear model is derived and the performance of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated in simulations of an obstacle avoidance scenario on a low-fricion icy road. date: 2014 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences number: 455 publisher: Springer pagerange: 41-57 id_number: doi:10.1007/978-3-319-05371-4_3 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-319-05371-4 issn: 0170-8643 book_title: Optimization and Optimal Control in Automotive Systems official_url: http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-05371-4_3 citation: Zanon, Mario and Frasch, Janick V. and Vukov, Milan and Sager, Sebastian and Diehl, Moritz Model Predictive Control of Autonomous Vehicles.
