Control inputs for the vehicle are computed from a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) scheme. The time-optimal objective is reformulated such that it can be tackled by existing efficient algorithms for real-time nonlinear MPC that build on the generalized Gauss-Newton method. We numerically validate our approach in simulations and present a real-world hardware setup of miniature race cars that is used for an experimental comparison of different approaches. date: 2014 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 2505-2510 event_title: 53rd Conference on Decision and Control event_location: Los Angeles, CA, USA event_dates: December 15-17, 2014 event_type: conference id_number: doi:10.1109/CDC.2014.7039771 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-6090-6 issn: 0191-2216 book_title: 53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control official_url: http://doi.org/10.1109/CDC.2014.7039771 citation: Verschueren, Robin and De Bruyne, Stijn and Zanon, Mario and Frasch, Janick V. and Diehl, Moritz Towards time-optimal race car driving using nonlinear MPC in real-time.
