Optimization-based Fault Mitigation in Automated Driving

With increased developments and interest in platooning and higher levels of automation (SAE level 3+), the need for safety systems that are capable of monitoring system health and maintain safe operation in faulty scenarios is increasing. Methods for the detection, isolation and identification of faults in automated and cooperative driving is...

A real-time nonlinear MPC for extreme lateral stabilization of passenger vehicles

Loss of lateral stability remains a major cause of road accidents in recent years. Further improvement of passenger vehicle's active safety requires a more efficient utilization of the tire-road friction. Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is expected to fulfill such a role, as the nonlinear characteristics of the vehicle are included...
