Abstract
A method of controlling a vehicle with a plurality of motion actuators comprises: determining a longitudinal inclination and speed of the vehicle; selecting an uphill drive mode if the longitudinal inclination is greater than an inclination threshold and the absolute speed is less than a speed threshold, and otherwise selecting a regular drive mode; obtaining motion requests; in accordance with the selected drive mode, providing a solution to an optimization problem related to optimal control of the motion actuators in accordance with the obtained motion requests; and controlling the motion actuators in accordance with the solution to the optimization problem. The optimization problem is dependent on a control effectiveness matrix which is defined differently in the uphill drive mode and the regular drive mode.
