We propose a feasibility condition for reference governors that are used to tune the behavior of a reference-tracking explicit model predictive controller. Governors allow for a simple tuning of existing controllers without modifying them. However, since properties like feasibility are often not accounted for by the governors, their applicability may be limited. We prove that feasibility can be guaranteed using information about the explicit solution, and demonstrate the resulting algorithm by controlling the flow rate in a laboratory-scale hydraulic plant.

Motion planning and control are crucial components for automated vehicles. Especially in parking scenarios, high precision is required due to the small distances to obstacles. Common approaches utilize ultrasonic or camera sensors. This paper presents a radar-based system architecture for automated parking, which can operate more robustly under difficult weather conditions. Moreover, this work develops a unified planning and control framework based on nonlinear model predictive control. Real vehicles often exhibit dynamic behavior that the commonly used kinematic bicycle model does not represent. Therefore, the paper at hand proposes an extended model, which rests upon a systematic analysis of the test vehicle's dynamics for the low-velocity range. Experiments in simulation and on real-world data show the efficiency of the approach and the importance of the extended vehicle dynamics modeling for closed-loop control.
Effective tracking of surrounding traffic participants allows for an accurate state estimation as a necessary ingredient for prediction of future behavior and therefore adequate planning of the ego vehicle trajectory....

Distributed-parameter systems represented by linear one-dimensional 2 × 2 hyperbolic PDEs with nonlinear finite-dimensional differentially flat dynamics at one boundary and control acting linearly via the opposite boundary are considered. Flatness of the overall system, deduced from the flatness of the boundary system, allows for the parametrization of the systems solutions by the trajectory of a flat output. The state associated with this parametrization corresponds to the restriction of the flat-output trajectory to a compact interval. This state is intrinsically linked to a nonlinear hyperbolic controller form and associated with the original system variables by an invertible transformation. Moreover, it allows for immediate and constructive reachability analysis. State feedback for tracking a desired reference trajectory is achieved by choosing arbitrary stable closed-loop dynamics. A numerical example illustrates the control performance for different choices of the closed-loop dynamics.

In this paper, the inverse linear quadratic(LQ) problem over finite time-horizon is *** the output observations of a dynamic process, the goal is to recover the corresponding LQ cost function. Firstly, by considering the inverse problem as an identification problem, its model structure is shown to be strictly globally identifiable under the assumption of system invertibility. Next, in the noiseless case a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed for the solvability of a positive semidefinite weighting matrix and its unique solution is obtained with two proposed algorithms under the condition of persistent excitation. Furthermore, a residual optimization problem is also formulated to solve a best-fit approximate cost function from sub-optimal observations. Finally, numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
Using external map information for automated driving is beneficial, as this follows an extension of the sensor range and global navigation to a priori specified goal. However, common systems use high definition maps, ...
