This is a path tracking simulation using model predictive control (MPC).

The MPC controller controls vehicle speed and steering base on
linealized model.

This code uses cvxpy as an optimization modeling tool.

MPC modeling
~~~~~~~~~~~~

State vector is:

.. math::  z = [x, y, v,\phi]

x: x-position, y:y-position, v:velocity, φ: yaw angle

Input vector is:

.. math::  u = [a, \delta]

a: accellation, δ: steering angle

The MPC cotroller minimize this cost function for path tracking:

.. math:: min\ Q_f(z_{T,ref}-z_{T})^2+Q\Sigma({z_{t,ref}-z_{t}})^2+R\Sigma{u_t}^2+R_d\Sigma({u_{t+1}-u_{t}})^2

z_ref come from target path and speed.

subject to:

-  Linearlied vehicle model

.. math:: z_{t+1}=Az_t+Bu+C

-  Maximum steering speed

.. math:: |u_{t+1}-u_{t}|<du_{max}

-  Maximum steering angle

.. math:: |u_{t}|<u_{max}

-  Initial state

.. math:: z_0 = z_{0,ob}

-  Maximum and minimum speed

.. math:: v_{min} < v_t < v_{max}

-  Maximum and minimum input

.. math:: u_{min} < u_t < u_{max}

Vehicle model linearization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vehicle model is

.. math::  \dot{x} = vcos(\phi)

.. math::  \dot{y} = vsin((\phi)

.. math::  \dot{v} = a

.. math::  \dot{\phi} = \frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}

ODE is

.. math::  \dot{z} =\frac{\partial }{\partial z} z = f(z, u) = A'z+B'u

where

:math:`\begin{equation*} A' = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial }{\partial x}vcos(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial y}vcos(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial v}vcos(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial \phi}vcos(\phi)\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial x}vsin(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial y}vsin(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial v}vsin(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial \phi}vsin(\phi)\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial x}a& \frac{\partial }{\partial y}a& \frac{\partial }{\partial v}a& \frac{\partial }{\partial \phi}a\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial x}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}& \frac{\partial }{\partial y}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}& \frac{\partial }{\partial v}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}& \frac{\partial }{\partial \phi}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}\\ \end{bmatrix} \\ 　= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & cos(\bar{\phi}) & -\bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi})\\ 0 & 0 & sin(\bar{\phi}) & \bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi}) \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 &\frac{tan(\bar{\delta})}{L} & 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}`

:math:`\begin{equation*} B' = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial }{\partial a}vcos(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial \delta}vcos(\phi)\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial a}vsin(\phi) & \frac{\partial }{\partial \delta}vsin(\phi)\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial a}a & \frac{\partial }{\partial \delta}a\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial a}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L} & \frac{\partial }{\partial \delta}\frac{vtan(\delta)}{L}\\ \end{bmatrix} \\ 　= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{\bar{v}}{Lcos^2(\bar{\delta})} \\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}`

You can get a discrete-time mode with Forward Euler Discretization with
sampling time dt.

.. math:: z_{k+1}=z_k+f(z_k,u_k)dt

Using first degree Tayer expantion around zbar and ubar

.. math:: z_{k+1}=z_k+(f(\bar{z},\bar{u})+A'z_k+B'u_k-A'\bar{z}-B'\bar{u})dt

.. math:: z_{k+1}=(I + dtA')z_k+(dtB')u_k + (f(\bar{z},\bar{u})-A'\bar{z}-B'\bar{u})dt

So,

.. math:: z_{k+1}=Az_k+Bu_k +C

where,

:math:`\begin{equation*} A = (I + dtA')\\ = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & cos(\bar{\phi})dt & -\bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi})dt\\ 0 & 1 & sin(\bar{\phi})dt & \bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi})dt \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 &\frac{tan(\bar{\delta})}{L}dt & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}`

:math:`\begin{equation*} B = dtB'\\ = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \\ dt & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{\bar{v}}{Lcos^2(\bar{\delta})}dt \\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}`

:math:`\begin{equation*} C = (f(\bar{z},\bar{u})-A'\bar{z}-B'\bar{u})dt\\ = dt( \begin{bmatrix} \bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi})\\ \bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi}) \\ \bar{a}\\ \frac{\bar{v}tan(\bar{\delta})}{L}\\ \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} \bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi})-\bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi})\bar{\phi}\\ \bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi})+\bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi})\bar{\phi}\\ 0\\ \frac{\bar{v}tan(\bar{\delta})}{L}\\ \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \\ \bar{a}\\ \frac{\bar{v}\bar{\delta}}{Lcos^2(\bar{\delta})}\\ \end{bmatrix} )\\ = \begin{bmatrix} \bar{v}sin(\bar{\phi})\bar{\phi}dt\\ -\bar{v}cos(\bar{\phi})\bar{\phi}dt\\ 0\\ -\frac{\bar{v}\bar{\delta}}{Lcos^2(\bar{\delta})}dt\\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}`
