Electronic Optimization of Stability Control in Autonomous Vehicles Using Model Predictive Control (MPC)
Applied the bicycle model to analyze vehicle stability during sharp turns, uneven terrain, and emergency maneuvers
Developed and ran simulations in MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate controller performance
Compared Model Predictive Control (MPC) against traditional PID control, achieving ~25–40% improvement in lateral stability, ~20–35% reduction in path tracking error, and ~15–25% faster response time during emergency maneuvers.
