However, a benchmark problem for distributed hybrid MPC is absent from the literature. We propose distributed control of a platoon of autonomous vehicles as a comparison benchmark problem. The problem provides a complex and adaptable case study, upon which existing and future approaches to distributed MPC for hybrid systems can be evaluated. Two hybrid modeling frameworks are presented for the vehicle dynamics. Five hybrid MPC controllers are then evaluated and extensively assessed on the fleet of vehicles. Finally, we comment on the need for new efficient and high performing distributed MPC schemes for hybrid systems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.09878v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.09878v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-comparison-benchmark-for-distributed-hybrid","repo_url":"https://github.com/SamuelMallick/hybrid-vehicle-platoon","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"autonomous-vehicles","task_name":"Autonomous Vehicles"},{"task_slug":"model-predictive-control","task_name":"Model Predictive Control"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
