Abstract Incorporation of electronic yaw stabilization in on-road vehicles can take many forms. Although the most popular ones are differential braking and torque distribution, a potentially better alternative would be the inclusion of a controller into the steering process. However, this is not often pursued in mechanically-coupled steering systems since the controller could work against the driver’s intentions creating potential challenges to safety. The growing adoption of steer-by-wire (SbW) systems now in autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles offers an opportunity to simplify the incorporation of such steering-controller based assistance. Most current steering-assistance systems focus either on adaptive steering control (adaptive power steering and gear ratios) or on total steering control in autopilot functions (lane keeping control). Such steering-controllers (incorporated via SbW modality) can improve driving performance and maneuverability and contribute to the overall suite of active-safety vehicle systems. In this study, we introduce a new pure-feedforward (open loop) controller for the steer-by-wire system based on the concept of reference shaping control aimed at reducing the vibration/oscillation caused in vehicles during fast (evasive) maneuvers.

In this paper, a stability control method based on active front steering control is proposed to steer by wire system (SBW). The proposed control system consists of an inner-loop angle tracking controller and an outer-loop controller. The inner-loop controller contributes to front steering angle tracking, and it is designed by PID control. The outer-loop controller restrains the effect of disturbance by feeding a compensation steering angle, and it is designed by using Improved Active Disturbances Rejection Control (IADRC) with less adjusted parameters than Active Disturbances Rejection Control (ADRC). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated via numerical simulation and vehicle test. The obtained results show that the proposed controller can improve the handling stability of the SBW system. To a certain extent, the study results promote the research and application of SBW system.

Fuzzy Logic includes a technique are widely applied to the vehicle steering control system, however, to get the parameters required by a reliable Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC), needed training and learning process. Quantum behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) is a simple optimization method that guarantees the achievement of global convergence quickly. This paper aimed to optimize of the steering control system on vehicle with steer-by-wire system using QPSO. The vehicle steering control system consists of Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control are built in cascade, in which FLC is used to minimize the lateral motion error and PID control is used to suppress yaw motion error of the vehicle. The parameters of the control system are optimized by QPSO consists of three parameters to determine the position of the centre and the width of the triangle membership function of FLC and three constant gain of PID control. The optimization is done through the software in the loop simulation of vehicle models represented by 10 Degree of Freedom (DOF) of the vehicle dynamics. Simulation results showed that optimization using QPSO on the parameters of the control system can guarantee the movement of the vehicle is constantly maintained at the desired trajectory with a smaller error and higher vehicle speeds compared to the control system without tuned. The results obtained will be used as the basis for testing of the hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) so it can further improve the performance of steer-by-wire system.

Hybrid ground vehicles have motivated electric and steer-by-wire steering system technology due to restrictions on power source availability. Although these two steering systems are efficient, flexible, and environment friendly, the steer-by-wire system provides the opportunity for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle operation, as well as compliments a drive-by-wire architecture. For greater lateral vehicle performance, reduced maneuver transient time, and avoidance of undesirable vehicle motions through combined traction and steering control, a four wheel steering assembly with front and rear steering mechanism can uniformly control the wheels’ steering angle. In this paper, mathematical models will be developed for a front and rear rack and pinion steer-by-wire system. Accompanying linear and nonlinear controllers will be designed for operator commanded tracking by adjusting the three servo-motor assemblies. Representative numerical results are presented and discussed to support the evaluation of the four-wheel steering systems for sinusoidal and impulse-like steering maneuvers. The simulated vehicle four wheel steer-by-wire system results demonstrated better performance compared to the front steer-by-wire system.
