MPC for Electronic Stability Control: validation with realistic simulations

In this paper, a stability control via differential braking is developed. The Model Predictive Control (MPC) is considered based on a linearized four wheels model. The performance is evaluated considering model-in-the-loop tests in the software CarSim. The maneuvers Double Lane Change and Sine Dwell are considered. Results show the efficiency of MPC in keeping the vehicle stability with hard maneuvers.
