In this paper we introduce MATMPC, an open source software built in MATLAB for nonlinear
model predictive control (NMPC). It is designed to facilitate modelling, controller design and …

In recent years the increasing needs of reducing the costs of car development expressed by
the automotive market have determined a rapid development of virtual driver prototy** …

Move blocking (MB) is a widely used strategy to reduce the degrees of freedom (DoFs) of the
optimal control problem (OCP) arising in receding horizon control. The size of the OCP is …

This paper proposes a semianalytical measure of nonlinearity (MoN) based on tensor
eigenpairs. Approximating nonlinear dynamics via local linearization is a common practice …

In recent years, efficient optimization algorithms for nonlinear model predictive control
(NMPC) have been proposed, that significantly reduce the online computational time. In …

In recent years, virtual prototy** tools have gained a central role in the design process of
new vehicles. While vehicles dynamics emulation is nowadays extremely accurate, the …

An increasing number of vehicles today are equipped with advanced driver-assistance
systems that provide humans involved in the driving tasks with continuous and active …

Virtual prototy** is currently a widely used tool for the development of new cars. In this
paper, the development of an effective virtual driver (VD) is described, that aims at …

This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a two layer hierarchical controller
for a tethered aerial vehicle. In particular, a challenging problem of smoothly landing on a …

Virtual prototy** tools are widely used in the development of new motorcycles, but the
instability of two-wheel vehicles leads to the necessity of implementing a vehicle driver. In …
