Driver command interpreter system determining achievable target vehicle state during steady-state and transient driving conditions

A vehicle, comprising:

• a driver command interpreter system, comprising:
• a plurality of sensors that collects a plurality of dynamic variables that each represent an operating parameter indicative of a dynamic state of the vehicle;
• one or more controllers in electronic communication with the plurality of sensors, the one or more controllers executing instructions to:
• receive the plurality of dynamic variables from the plurality of sensors, vehicle configuration information, and driving environment conditions;
• determine a target vehicle state during transient driving conditions based on the plurality of dynamic variables from the plurality of sensors, the vehicle configuration information, and the driving environment conditions;
• build a transient vehicle dynamic model based on the target vehicle state during transient driving conditions, the plurality of dynamic variables, the vehicle configuration information, and the driving environment conditions;
• solve for desired zeros corresponding to the target vehicle state during transient conditions based on the transient vehicle dynamic model, wherein the desired zeros are shaped to result in the target vehicle state during the transient driving conditions being achieved;
• and
• store the desired zeros in memory, wherein the one or more controllers employ the desired zeros in real-time to determine real-time constraints upon the vehicle during operation.
