Motivation
Mathematical formulation
We consider 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 the steering wheel's angular velocity. The force controls the total braking force, while the accelerator pedal position is translated into an accelerating force. Finally, the selected gear influences the effective engine torque's transmission.
Resulting MIOCP
For almost everywhere the mixed-integer optimal control problem is given by
Parameters
These fixed values are used within the model.
Test course
The double-lane change manoeuvre presented in <bibref>Gerdts2005</bibref> is realized by constraining the car's position onto a prescribed track at any time . 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 and modeling the top and bottom track boundary, given a horizontal position .
where is the car's width and
