This paper presents an integrated nonlinear robust adaptive controller with uncertainty observer for active front wheel steering system and direct yaw moment control system. First, an integrated vehicle chassis control model is established as the nominal model with the additive and multiplicative uncertainties of the system. Secondly, an integrated nonlinear robust adaptive control law with the additive uncertainty observer is designed via Lyapunov stability theory to calculate the corrective yaw moment, and an adaptive law is designed based on projection correction method to online estimate and compensate the multiplicative uncertainty of the system. Then, the constrained optimal allocation problem of the corrective yaw moment is transformed into the nonlinear optimization problem, and the sequential quadratic programming method is used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem to coordinate active front wheel steering system and direct yaw moment control system. Finally, the performance of the proposed integrated nonlinear robust adaptive controller is verified via vehicle dynamics simulation software.

This paper presents a novel assist-steering method for distributed-drive articulated heavy vehicles (DAHVs) to reduce its dependency on hydraulic steering method and improve the pressure characteristics of hydraulic struts. The objective is to realise the electrification of steering process for DAHVs, which is the basis of unmanned design with more stable control in the following studies. The theory and purpose of the proposed assist-steering method in this paper distinguishes it from the traditional direct yaw-moment control method or assist-steering methods in the previous studies, which easily produce interference with hydraulic steering method in DAHVs during steering process. In this paper, an accurate vehicle model is developed along with the field test for its satisfactory verification. Meanwhile, with the decoupling analyses of two different effects of steering methods on vehicle steering process, the assist-steering method is developed. In order to show the advantages brought on by this method, a case study is performed and analyzed. The results demonstrate that this proposed method can reduce the pressure of hydraulic steering system to about 41.2% without any changes of steering process, which is limited by the drive ability of wheel-side motor. Moreover, the pressure of inlet chamber in hydraulic struts is always reduced to about 40%–60% without any changes of the pressure in outlet chamber, which can improve the working performance of hydraulic steering system.

Yaw Moment

Basically, there are two main techniques to control the vehicle yaw moment. First method is the indirect yaw moment control, which works on the basis of active steering control (ASC). The second one being the direct yaw moment control (DYC), which is based on either the differential braking or the torque vectoring. An innovative idea for the direct yaw moment control is introduced by using an active controller system to supervise the lateral dynamics of vehicle and perform as an active yaw moment control system, denoted as the stabilizer pendulum system (SPS). This idea has further been developed, analyzed, and implemented in a standalone direct yaw moment control system, as well as, in an integrated vehicle dynamic control system with a differential braking yaw moment controller. The effectiveness of SPS has been evaluated by model simulation, which illustrates its superior performance especially on low friction roads.

Yaw Moment

Direct Yaw Moment Control (DYC) is an effective way to alter the behaviour of electric cars with independent drives. Controlling the torque applied to each wheel can improve the handling performance of a vehicle making it safer and faster on a race track. The state-of-the-art literature covers the comparison of various controllers (PID, LPV, LQR, SMC, etc.) using ISO manoeuvres. However, a more advanced comparison of the important characteristics of the controllers’ performance is lacking, such as the robustness of the controllers under changes in the vehicle model, steering behaviour, use of the friction circle, and, ultimately, lap time on a track. In this study, we have compared the controllers according to some of the aforementioned parameters on a modelled race car. Interestingly, best lap times are not provided by perfect neutral or close-to-neutral behaviour of the vehicle, but rather by allowing certain deviations from the target yaw rate. In addition, a modified Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller showed that its performance is comparable to other more complex control techniques such as Model Predictive Control (MPC).

This paper presents an integrated vehicle chassis control (IVCC) strategy to improve vehicle handling and stability by coordinating active front steering (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) in a hierarchical way. In high-level control, the corrective yaw moment is calculated by the fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC) method, which may improve the transient response of the system, and a non-linear disturbance observer (NDO) is used to estimate and compensate for the model uncertainty and external disturbance to suppress the chattering of FTSMC. In low-level control, the null-space-based control reallocation method and inverse tyre model are utilized to transform the corrective yaw moment to the desired longitudinal slips and the steer angle increment of front wheels by considering the constraints of actuators and friction ellipse of each wheel. Finally, the performance of the proposed control strategy is verified through simulations of various manoeuvres based on vehicle dynamic software CarSim.
