This paper presents a method to calculate the driver actions which are required for a car to perform specified manoeuvres in as short time as possible. This method uses non-linear car and tire models, is based on the optimal control theory, and uses the Gradient method to solve the resulting equations. Results are presented, in which two different cars perform similar lane-changes which are defined by a road the car is to stay on. Results clearly show different driving strategies for front and rear wheel drive cars due to the significant effect of longitudinal force on tire saturation. These results imply that the optimal control theory can be used to optimize car handling by means of inverse simulation, when using non-linear car and tire models.
