Nonlinear Model Predictive Yaw Moment Control Through Electric Axle and Friction Brake Torque Distribution by Carmine Caponio, Gaetano Tavolo, Davide Tavernini, Ahu Ece Hartavi Karci, Javad Ahmadi, Basilio Lenzo, Giulio Reina, Giacomo Mantriota, Pietro Perlo, Aldo Sorniotti

“…., without considering the energy efficiency aspects and the electronic stability control (ESC) function actuating the friction brakes. To address the gap, this paper presents real-time capable nonlinear model predictive controllers (NMPCs) for ATV and ESC, targeting: i) energy consumption reduction in normal driving, through powertrain and tire slip power loss limitation; and ii) yaw rate, sideslip angle and wheel slip control at the limit of handling, by considering the trade-off between powertrain and friction brake actuation. …”
