V. creator: Gray, A. creator: Zanon, Mario creator: Ferreau, H. J. creator: Sager, S. creator: Borrelli, F. creator: Diehl, M. subject: T Technology (General) description: We address the problem of real-time obstacle avoidance on low-friction road surfaces using spatial Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC). We use a nonlinear four-wheel vehicle dynamics model that includes load transfer. To overcome the computational difficulties we propose to use the ACADO Code Generation tool which generates NMPC algorithms based on the real-time iteration scheme for dynamic optimization. The exported plain C code is tailored to the model dynamics, resulting in faster run-times in effort for real-time feasibility. The advantages of the proposed method are shown through simulation. publisher: IEEE date: 2013-07 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/4046/1/06669836.pdf identifier: Frasch, J.
