MATLAB and Simulink Seminars

Model Predictive Control for Automated Driving

Overview

Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular technology for implementing as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, path following control, automated parking and other automated driving algorithms.

In this session, you will learn how you can quickly get started with developing these algorithms by using prebuilt automated driving blocks and reference examples. You can customize the references examples to design and deploy MPC controllers for your own automated driving application or design MPC algorithms from scratch. You can develop and simulate scenes, sensors and virtual vehicle models, create different driving scenarios, and test MPC algorithms in simulated 3D environments. You will hear about experiences of companies who developed and implemented various automated driving algorithms using MPC. You will also learn how to design, simulate, and implement linear, adaptive and nonlinear MPC controllers, and integrate them with perception and path planning algorithms.
