The lateral stability control of the vehicle can avoid serious traffic accidents when it had a tire blowout during operation. This article proposes robust nonlinear method for controlling after blowout. To be exact, seven degree freedom dynamic model with modified Dugoff is established. yaw moment performed by differential braking once occurring. As strategy, taking linear two as reference, usi...

Purpose This paper studies the lateral stability regulation of intelligent electric vehicle (EV) based on model predictive control (MPC) algorithm. Design/methodology/approach Firstly, bicycle is adopted in system modelling process. To improve accuracy, stiffness front and rear tire estimated using real-time yaw rate acceleration dynamics. Then constraint input output controller designed. Soft ...

In this paper, we formulate a virtual target-based path following guidance law aimed towards multi-vehicle path following problem. The guidance law is well suited to precisely follow circular paths while minting desired distance between two adjacent vehicles where path information is only available to the lead vehicle. We analytically show lateral and longitudnal stability and convergence on th...

improvement in braking performance and vehicle stability can be achieved through the use of braking systems whose brake force distribution is variable. electronic braking force distribution has an important and serious role in the vehicle stopping distance and stability. in this paper a new approach will be presented to achieve the braking force distribution strategy for articulated vehicles. f...

Many active safety systems in automotive vehicles, for instance yaw stability systems such as ESC/ESP, depend on information about vehicle velocity, in particular lateral velocity or side-slip angle, to be able to function properly. However, the vehicle velocity is rarely measured directly due to issues of cost and reliability, and must therefore in general be inferred from other measurements, ...

Many real-world engineering design problems involve the satisfaction of multiple conflicting objectives. In this case it is unlikely that a single ideal solution will exist. Instead, the solution of an Multi-Objective Optimisation problem will lead to a family of Pareto optimal points, where any improvement in one objective will result in the degradation of one or more of the other objectives. ...

The basic ability of a vehicle is to “run”, “turn” and “stop”. The safeness and comfort during a drive on various road surfaces and speed depends on the performance of these basic abilities of the vehicle. Stability and maneuverability of a vehicle are vital in automotive engineering. The stability of a vehicle is the ability of the vehicle to revert back to a stable state during a drive when f...

In this paper, a novel vehicle dynamics controller is proposed by combining two control loops which are formed by the individually actuated wheel braking and steering regulator. The inner braking loop regulates the individual tire force generation and prevents tire force saturation with respect to tire slip. When the tire forces are regulated to operate in the linear region of their nonlinear c...

The paper presents the design of a lateral stability controller for ground vehicles based on front steering and four wheels independent braking. The control objective is to track yaw rate and lateral velocity reference signals while avoiding front and rear wheel traction force saturation. Control design is based on an approximate piecewise–affine nonlinear dynamical model of the vehicle. Vehicl...
