An integrated vehicle chassis control system was developed to improve vehicle handling (yaw) responses while maintain vehicle roll stability using an 8 DOF vehicle model, a simplified tire model, and a model predictive control method. The proposed control system incorporates active wheel torque distribution, active front steering, and active anti-rollbar to enhance vehicle handling and its ability to track the desired trajectory when the risk of vehicle rollover is low. As vehicle rollover risks increase, the proposed control system shifts its control focus from only handling enhancement to vehicle roll stabilization by adjusting the gains in the controller. The simulation results show that the proposed control system can improve vehicle handling responses while ensuring vehicle roll stability at high speed vehicle maneuvers.

Various active chassis control systems have been developed to improve vehicle handling and stability. Brake-based electronic stability programs and advanced driveline technologies can distribute different wheel torque to all four wheels to regulate vehicle motion. Active front and rear steer systems are widely used to control the vehicle yaw rate and side slip responses. In addition, active anti-roll bars can improve vehicle handling by adjusting roll moment distribution. This paper proposes an integrated chassis control scheme that combines these individual systems using nonlinear predictive control theory. An 8 degree-of-freedom vehicle model is used with a Magic Formula tire model for controller development. The performance of proposed controller is compared to individual control system through simulation and shows significant improvement in vehicle handling.

An integrated vehicle chassis control strategy with driver behavior identification is introduced in this paper. In order to identify the different types of driver behavior characteristics, a driver behavior signals acquisition system was established using the dSPACE real-time simulation platform, and the driver inputs of 30 test drivers were collected under the double lane change test condition. Then, driver behavior characteristics were analyzed and identified based on the preview optimal curvature model through genetic algorithm and neural network method. Using it as a base, an integrated chassis control strategy with active front steering (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) considering driver characteristics was established by model predictive control (MPC) method. Finally, simulations were carried out to verify the control strategy by CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the proposed method enables the control system to adjust its parameters according to the driver behavior identification results and the vehicle handling and stability performance are significantly improved.

Aiming at the problems such as switch impulsion, insurmountability for influence caused by nonlinearity in one tank gun control system which adopts double PID controller to realize the multimode switch control between high speed and low speed movement, the system math model is built up; And then, Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) method based on nonroutine reference model is brought in and the adaptive gun controller is designed. Consequently, the compensation of nonlinearity and multimode control are implemented. Furthermore, the Tracking Differentiator (TD) is affiliated to the front of controller in order to restrain the impulsion caused by mode switch. Finally, the validity of control method in this paper is verified by simulation.

An integrated guidance and control method is investigated for interceptors with impact angle constraint against a high-speed maneuvering target. Firstly, a new control-oriented model with impact angle constraint of the integrated guidance and control system is built in the pitch plane by combining the engagement kinematics and missile dynamics model between the interceptor and target. Secondly, the flight path angle of the target is estimated by extended Kalman filter in order to transform the terminal impact angle constraint into the terminal line-of-sight angle constraint. Thirdly, a nonlinear adaptive sliding mode control law of the integrated guidance and control system is designed in order to directly obtain the rudder deflection command, which eliminates time delay caused by the traditional backstepping control method. Then the Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the stability of the whole closed-loop integrated guidance and control system. Finally, the simulation results confirm that the integrated guidance and control method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the interception performance of the interceptor to a high-speed maneuvering target.

The mathematical vector model of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has first been discussed in this paper, and a servo control system based on Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) has been designed, in which a enhanced Microprogrammed Control Unit (EMCU) is combined with drive chips and the relevant control software to achieve the precise control of PMSM. In order to control the position, speed and current of the PMSM, six SVPWM signals are generated with the motor vector control method, and the vector control strategy with three closed loops is projected. According to the control principle, the circuits of the hardware modules are designed and built, and the program of the control process is compiled and downloaded the EMCU, and then the human-computer interaction interface of the system is implemented by LabVIEW. The results of the test show that the control system designed can control the rotating speed and the high-speed pendulum operation of PMSM precisely.
