Automated Driving Applications

Design and simulate model predictive controllers for automated driving

You can use model predictive control (MPC) in automated driving applications to improve vehicle responsiveness while maintaining passenger comfort and safety. MPC has several features that are useful for automated driving, such as predicting vehicle behavior in the near future and explicitly handling constraints during optimization. For more information, see Automated Driving Using Model Predictive Control.
