The proceedings of the Automotive Model Predictive Control: Models Methods and Applications
workshop investigates whether constrained predictive control is reasonable in automotive
control and what is necessary for its application. The workshop held at the University of Linz
on 9th - 10th February 2009 brought together workers from academia and industry from three key
automotive branches: modeling control and the application. The workshop included three keynote
presentations each of them contributing to the solution of an essential question. - Which
problems in automotive applications need constrained optimal control? - Models of emissions for
modern engines for model based control? - Industrial methods and requirements for control
schemes?The results of testing control strategies on a dynamical engine test bench give a
feeling for the necessary computing power the model plant mismatch etc. and thus for the real
application of control laws in production cars.
