ABSTRACT
Receding horizon control (RHC), also known as model predictive control (MPC), has attracted wide attention in the automotive industry over the last decade. Relative to other conventional control approaches, RHC possesses the following significant advantages: (1) it is able to tackle the explicitly constrained optimization problem; (2) it can easily deal with the control problem with the time-delay system; (3) it is effective for solving multivariable and multiobjective optimal control problems; (4) the control scheme can be easily understood owing to its model-based design concept; and (5) it has good robustness under situations of disturbance, even with changing system parameters.
