Model Predictive Control/Evidence
Method evidence record

Model Predictive Control

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an advanced control strategy that uses an explicit process model to predict future system behavior over a finite horizon and solves an optimization problem at each control step. First formalized by Richalet et al. in 1978, MPC has become the dominant approach in process control industries, from chemical plants to autonomous vehicles, because it naturally handles constraints and can optimize multiple objectives simultaneously.
