Because of the high speed and insufficient stopping distance, a sudden obstacle will force the vehicle to perform a lane change maneuver to avoid a crash or rear-end collision. A vehicle yaw following control system was designed in this paper to prevent vehicles from spinning and drifting out on high speed obstacle avoidance under emergency. However, yaw following control system, in some situation, may not react properly to, or even deteriorate on-road rollover events. Four-wheel steering control system can reduce the excessive yaw movement due to yaw following control system. An integration control system, including yaw following control system and four-wheel steering control system was presented and discussed. With this improved control system, the vehicle lateral stability can be improved on high speed obstacle avoidance.

This paper presents a method to design a vehicle stability controller with four-wheel independent braking (4WIB), drive (4WID) and steering (4WIS) for electric vehicles (EVs) adopting in-wheel motor (IWM) system. To improve lateral stability and maneuverability of vehicles, a direct yaw moment control strategy is adopted. A control allocation method is adopted to distribute control yaw moment into tire forces, generated by 4WIB, 4WID and 4WIS. A set of variable weights in the control allocation method is introduced for the application of several actuator combinations. Simulation on a driving simulation tool, CarSim®, shows that the proposed vehicle stability controller is capable of enhancing lateral stability and maneuverability. From the simulation, the effects of actuator combinations on control performance are analyzed.

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.

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.
