The vehicle dynamics are based on a single-track model, derived under the simplifying assumption that rolling and pitching of the car body can be neglected. Consequentially, only a single front and rear wheel is modeled, located in the virtual center of the original two wheels. Motion of the car body is considered on the horizontal plane only.

Four controls represent the driver's choice on steering and velocity. We denote with <math>w_\delta</math> the steering wheel's angular velocity. The force <math>F_\text{B}</math> controls the total braking force, while the accelerator pedal position <math>\phi</math> is translated into an accelerating force. Finally, the selected gear <math>\mu</math> influences the effective engine torque's transmission.

The double-lane change manoeuvre presented in <bib id="Gerdts2005" /> is realized by constraining the car's position onto a prescribed track at any time <math>t\in[t_0,t_\text{f}]</math>. Starting in the left position with an initial prescribed velocity, the driver is asked to manage a change of lanes modeled by an offset of 3.5 meters in the track. Afterwards he is asked to return to the starting lane. This manoeuvre can be regarded as an overtaking move or as an evasive action taken to avoid hitting an obstacle suddenly appearing on the starting lane.
 +
 +
From a mathematical point of view, the test track is described by setting up piecewise cubic spline functions <math>P_\text{l}(x)</math> and <math>P_\text{r}(x)</math> modeling the top and bottom track boundary, given a horizontal position <math>x</math>.

Mathematical formulation

The mathematical equations form a small-scale ODE model.

The vehicle dynamics are based on a single-track model, derived under the simplifying assumption that rolling and pitching of the car body can be neglected. Consequentially, only a single front and rear wheel is modeled, located in the virtual center of the original two wheels. Motion of the car body is considered on the horizontal plane only.

Four controls represent the driver's choice on steering and velocity. We denote with w_\delta the steering wheel's angular velocity. The force F_\text{B} controls the total braking force, while the accelerator pedal position \phi is translated into an accelerating force. Finally, the selected gear \mu influences the effective engine torque's transmission.

For t \in [t_0, t_f] almost everywhere the mixed-integer optimal control problem is given by

is realized by constraining the car's position onto a prescribed track at any time t\in[t_0,t_\text{f}]. Starting in the left position with an initial prescribed velocity, the driver is asked to manage a change of lanes modeled by an offset of 3.5 meters in the track. Afterwards he is asked to return to the starting lane. This manoeuvre can be regarded as an overtaking move or as an evasive action taken to avoid hitting an obstacle suddenly appearing on the starting lane.

From a mathematical point of view, the test track is described by setting up piecewise cubic spline functions P_\text{l}(x) and P_\text{r}(x) modeling the top and bottom track boundary, given a horizontal position x.


\begin{align}
P_\text{l}(x) &:=& \left\{ 
	\begin{array}{llrcl}
		0                        & \text{if } &        & x & \leq 44, \\
		4\; h_2\; (x-44)^3       & \text{if } & 44 <   & x & \leq 44.5, \\
		4\; h_2\; (x-45)^3 + h_2 & \text{if } & 44.5 < & x & \leq 45, \\

		4\; h_2\; (71-x)^3       & \text{if } & 70.5 < & x & \leq 71, \\
		0                        & \text{if } & 71 <   & x. &  \\
	\end{array} \right.  \\
P_\text{u}(x) &:=& \left\{ 
	\begin{array}{llrcl}
		h_1                            & \text{if } &        & x & \leq 15, \\
		4\; (h_3-h_1)\; (x-15)^3 + h_1 & \text{if } & 15 <   & x & \leq 15.5, \\
		4\; (h_3-h_1)\; (x-16)^3 + h_3 & \text{if } & 15.5 < & x & \leq 16, \\
		h_3                            & \text{if } & 16 <   & x & \leq 94, \\
		4\; (h_3-h_4)\; (94-x)^3 + h_3 & \text{if } & 94 <   & x & \leq 94.5, \\

	h_2 := 3.5, \quad
	h_3 := 1.2\; B + 3.75,\quad
