Rollover prevention and path following of a scaled autonomous vehicle using nonlinear model predictive control by Gwayi, Isaac

“…The main goal of this study is to develop a yaw-rate and rollover stability controller of an Autonomous Scaled Ground Vehicle (ASGV) using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC). Open Source Software (OSS) known as Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimisation (ACADO) is used to design and simulate the NMPC controller based on an eight Degree of Freedom (8 DOF) nonlinear vehicle model with Pacejka tire model. …”
