The rising popularity of self-driving cars has led to the emergence of a new research field in
recent years: Autonomous racing. Researchers are developing software and hardware for …

For decades, motorsport has been an incubator for innovations in the automotive sector and
brought forth systems, like, disk brakes or rearview mirrors. Autonomous racing series such …

Optimization problems for trajectory planning in autonomous vehicle racing are
characterized by their nonlinearity and nonconvexity. Instead of solving these optimization …

In this paper we propose a hierarchical controller for autonomous racing where the same
vehicle model is used in a two level optimization framework for motion planning. The high …

With the evolution of self-driving cars, autonomous racing series like Roborace and the Indy
Autonomous Challenge are rapidly attracting growing attention. Researchers participating in …

Nonlinear effects and external disturbances can severely impact the control of an
autonomous race car at the handling limits. State-of-the-art approaches do not take these …

Increasing attention to autonomous passenger vehicles has also attracted interest in an
autonomous racing series. Because of this, platforms such as Roborace and the Indy …

We present a holistically designed three layer control architecture capable of outperforming
a professional driver racing the same car. Our approach focuses on the co-design of the …

Vehicles are highly coupled and multi-degree nonlinear systems. The establishment of an
appropriate vehicle dynamical model is the basis of motion planning for autonomous …

Autonomous vehicles have to meet high safety standards in order to be commercially viable.
Before real-world testing of an autonomous vehicle, extensive simulation is required to verify …
