Abstract
A system for managing chassis and driveline actuators of a motor vehicle includes a control module executing program code portions that: cause sensors to obtain vehicle state information, receive a driver input and generate a desired dynamic output based on the driver input and the vehicle state information, and then estimate actuator actions based on the vehicle state information, generate one or more control action constraints based on the vehicle state information and estimated actuator actions, generate a reference control action based on the vehicle state information, the estimated actions of the one or more actuators and the control action constraints, and integrate the vehicle state information, the estimated actuator actions, desired dynamic output, reference control action and the control action constraints to generate an optimal control action that falls within a range of predefined actuator capacities and ensures driver control of the vehicle.
