Fully electric vehicles with individually controlled drivetrains can provide a high degree of drivability and vehicle safety, all while increasing the cornering limit and the ‘fun-todrive’ aspect. This paper investigates a new approach on how sideslip control can be integrated into a continuously active yaw rate controller to extend the limit of stable vehicle cornering and to allow sustained h...

In this paper, we present the simulation study of vehicle platooning control using Adams and Matlab. Motions of most vehicles are governed by nonholonomic systems and multiple variables require to be controlled in a coordinated manner to ensure a vehicle to follow a path. For a nonholonomic vehicle system, it is understood that the convergence of coordinate variables to their respective desired...

Tire forces are at the heart of the dynamic qualities of vehicles. With the advent of electric vehicles the precise and accurate control of the traction and braking forces at the individual wheel becomes a possibility and a reality outside test labs and virtual proving grounds. Benefits of individual wheel torque control, or torque-vectoring, in terms of vehicle dynamics behavior have been well...

The Network Assisted Vehicle is a semi-autonomous vehicle that is tightly integrated with the innovITS ADVANCE City Circuit test facility. The vehicle incorporates a low cost speed control system that utilizes a pre-existing adaptive cruise control system. A radio interface allows synchronization with an off-board control facility that can adjust the vehicle speed demand around other events on ...

A controller was developed to govern the lateral position of a highway-speed vehicle using frequencyweighted coordination of front steering and torque inputs. The MISO design problem was recast as a SISO approach by using a cascaded design technique: the first step determined the relative contribution of each control input as a function of frequency; secondary design steps utilized classical SI...
