Model Predictive Control (MPC) has shown to be a successful method for many applications that require control. Especially in the presence of prediction uncertainty, various types of MPC offer robust or efficient control system behavior. For modeling, uncertainty is most often approximated in such a way that established MPC approaches are applicable for specific uncertainty types. However, for a number of applications, especially automated vehicles, uncertainty in predicting the future behavior of other agents is more suitably modeled by a twofold description: a high-level task uncertainty and a low-level execution uncertainty of individual tasks. In this work, we present an MPC framework that is capable of dealing with this twofold uncertainty. A scenario MPC approach considers the possibility of other agents performing one of multiple tasks, with an arbitrary probability distribution, while an analytic stochastic MPC method handles execution uncertainty within a specific task, based on a Gaussian distribution. Combining both approaches allows to efficiently handle the twofold uncertainty structure of many applications. Application of the proposed MPC method is demonstrated in an automated vehicle simulation study, resulting in less collisions than applying stochastic MPC or scenario MPC individually.
