Control principles for critical vehicle emergency maneuvers with code and solutions
Emergency driving situations demand maneuvers at the limits of vehicle performance, where optimal control theory determines the best achievable outcome. Optimal Vehicle Maneuvers presents formulation and numerical solution methods for these optimization problems, grounded in vehicle dynamics. The book addresses dynamics modeling, feedback control, and optimization as an engineering tool, linking each technique to real-world scenarios.
The authors include safety potential analysis using crash databases to quantify the relevance of optimal maneuvering in actual collision scenarios, and coverage extends from braking and steering to combined interventions under varying conditions. Practical code segments accompany each problem formulation, and exercises with worked solutions allow readers to reproduce and extend the presented results.

Optimal Vehicle Maneuvers serves professionals and engineers in autonomous vehicles, vehicle safety systems, automotive control, and advanced driver-assistance systems. It also functions as a graduate-level reference for engineering students with foundational coursework in mathematics, mechanics, and signals and automatic control.
