Abstract
In this paper we investigate the possibility of applying the hybrid Model
Predictive Control (MPC) framework to solve a control problem regarding
tracking of a moving vehicle. The study originates from the design of an
adaptive cruise controller (ACC) of a Smart car, that aims to closely follow a
reference trajectory transmitted by a leading vehicle. The physical behavior of
the Smart and the constraints arising from the specifications related to safety
and security issues make the hybrid MPC framework suitable for this task. An
adaptation of the terminal cost and constraint set MPC approach, which is
commonly used for fixed set-point regulation, is employed in order to achieve
good tracking of a time-varying reference trajectory. The simulation results
indicate the effectiveness of the developed hybrid MPC algorithm and the
industrial feasibility with respect to on-line computation restrictions.
