The Stability

With the introduction and development of Anti-lock Braking System in modern vehicles, remarkable progress in brake efficiency and brake stability has been achieved. However, it is a significant challenge to deal with the control law in certain critical situations, especially on split-μ road surface. In low vehicle velocity, as some standards and regulations specified, the stability in such situation is comparably easy to be achieved. But with the vehicle velocity increasing, the driver behavior contributes a large impact on the trajectory maintenance and easily causes sympathetic vibration of the vehicle because of the unexpected synchronization between the driver input and control law output, which could be very dangerous. This paper presents the research work in vehicle stability control when Anti-lock Braking System is activated at split-μ road surface. The principal contribution of this work is that the driver behavior is taken into account and the control law is tuned to adapt to this situation, which effectively maintains the stability of the vehicle without compromising the brake efficiency.

And Performance

Abstract The dynamics of a vehicle's tires is a major contributor to the vehicle stability, control, and performance. A better understanding of the handling performance and lateral stability of the vehicle can be achieved by an in-depth study of the transient behavior of the tire. In this article, the transient response of the tire to a steering angle input is examined and an analytical second order tire model is proposed. This model provides a means for a better understanding of the transient behavior of the tire. The proposed model is also applied to a vehicle model and its performance is compared with a first order tire model.

Set Up

This paper presents a predictive vehicle stability control (VSC) strategy that distributes the drive/braking torques to each wheel of the vehicle based on the optimal exploitation of the available traction capability for each tire. To this end, tire saturation levels are defined as the deficiency of a tire to generate a force that linearly increases with the relevant slip quantities. These saturation levels are then used to set up an optimization objective for a torque distribution problem within a novel cascade control structure that exploits the natural time scale separation of the slower lateral handling dynamics of the vehicle from the relatively faster rotational dynamics of the wheel/tire. The envisaged application of the proposed vehicle stability strategy is for vehicles with advanced and emerging pure electric, hybrid electric or hydraulic hybrid power trains featuring independent wheel drives. The developed predictive control strategy is evaluated for, a two-axle truck featuring such an independent drive system and subjected to a transient handling maneuver.

Yaw Moment

This paper presents the design of mixed H∞/H2Output Feedback Controller for Independent Drive Electric Vehicle Stability Control. It generates yaw moment by applying driving intervention at front Independent driving wheels according to the vehicle states. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated through a series of simulations under different velocity and different mass. The simulation results show that the controller can help vehicle against a certain range of uncertainty (speeds and loads) and get excellent robust performance.
