Coordinated control for vehicles coopearative maneuvers using distributed model predictive control

Resumen

The research and development focused towards autonomous vehicles has grown quickly and progressively, in search of a more efficient, safe and clean future. Thus, is necessary to consider: cooperation between multiple (2 or more) vehicles, security measures, priorities, among others. Under this framework we present a design of predictive controller for the management of cooperative maneuvers, considering safety, efficiency and comfort in driving, as well as a series of physical limitations of the vehicle, all this to obtain a speed profile that guarantees the optimal execution (locally) of the maneuver.
