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. date: 2013-07 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 4136-4141 event_title: European Control Conference (ECC) event_location: Zurich, Switzerland event_dates: July 17-19, 2013 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-033-03962-9 book_title: European Control Conference (ECC), 2013 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6669836/ citation: Frasch, J.
