The Optimization Research on Vehicle ESP Control Strategy
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is an advanced initiative system for car security. As an integration of subsystems such as ABS, TCS, ESC, etc., this new control system is designed to accurately manipulate the dynamics behaviors of vehicles under critical adhesive conditions, allowing maximum cooperation of vehicles responses to the driver's operation within physical limits. This research has firstly established a dynamical model of an entire vehicle as the controlled object in this study of ESP. Then, the paper moved on to the design of ESP control algorithm strategy, discussing the selection problem of which wheels should the longitudinal control force apply to, and finally proposing an effective improvement on operational stability control of ESP system.
