Abstract
This paper describes the application of hybrid modeling and receding horizon optimal control techniques for supervising an automotive robotized gearbox, with the goal of reducing consumptions and emissions, a problem that is currently under investigation at Fiat Research Center (CRF). We show that the dynamic behavior of the vehicle can be easily approximated and captured by the hybrid model, and through simulations on standard speed patterns that a good closed loop performance can be achieved. The synthesized control law can be implemented on automotive hardware as a piecewise affine function of the measured and estimated quantities.
