van der Knaap, Jeroen (author)Improving the energy efficiency of electric vehicles has various significant benefits, such as increasing the driving range. The Thermal Management System (TMS) plays a large role in optimizing the vehicle energy consumption and battery lifetime. In this thesis, a nonlinear Model Predictive control (MPC) strategy is presented to regulate the...master thesis 2023

Vonk, Martijn (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can solve a lot of problems related to traffic safety, comfort and congestion. While the sensors used by these vehicles are getting cheaper, more accurate, and software is improving, the first completely automated vehicle does not exist yet. When AVs start gradually driving on the roads, there will be a mixed traffic...master thesis 2023

Lenssen, Daan (author)This thesis presents a new MPC controller which integrates path tracking and stability control into one controller. Previously these tasks were done by separate controllers, where one controller handled the path tracking while another controller ensured the vehicle was kept in the stable operating region. A drawback of this method is that the...master thesis 2022
