Abstract

In this paper we describe a hybrid model and an optimization-based control strategy for solving a traction control prob- lem currently under investigation at Ford Research Laboratories. We show through simulations on a model and a realistic set of parameters that good and robust performance is achieved. Furthermore, the result- ing optimal controller is a piecewise linear function of the measurements that can be implemented on low cost control hardware.
