Vehicle stability control systems have been receiving increasing attention, especially over the past decade, owing to the advances in on-board electronics that enables successful implementation of complex algorithms. Another major reason for their increasing popularity lies in their effectiveness. Considering the studies that expose supporting results for reducing crash risk or fatality, organizations such as E.U. and NHTSA are taking steps to mandate the use of such safety systems on vehicles. The current technology has advanced in many aspects, and undoubtedly has improved vehicle stability as mentioned above; however there are still many areas of potential improvements. Especially being able to utilize information about tire-vehicle states (tire forces, tire-slip angle, and tire-road friction) would be significant due to the key role tires play in providing directional stability and control. This paper presents an adaptive vehicle stability controller that makes use of tire force and slip-angle information from an online tire monitoring system. Solving the optimality problem for the tire force allocation ensures that the control system does not push the tires into the saturation region where neither the driver nor the controller commands are implemented properly. The proposed control algorithm is implemented using MATLAB/CarSim® software packages. The performance of the system is evaluated under an evasive double lane change maneuver on high and low friction surfaces. The results indicate that the system can successfully stabilize the vehicle as well as adapting to the changes in surface conditions.

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.

By analyzing the key safety problems under the front-outside-tire burst steering condition, a vehicle stability control strategy is proposed in this paper, which is based on active front steering and differential braking systems. Taken both the handling stability and safety into account, we divided the whole control strategy into two layers, which are yaw moment control layer and the additional steering angle & tire force distribution layer. To solve the similar linear problem concisely, the LQR control is adopted in the yaw moment control layer. To achieve the goal of providing enough additional lateral force and yaw moment while keeping the burst tire in appropriate condition, the additional steering angle provided by active front steering system and the tire force distribution was adjusted step by step. To test the proposed control strategy performance, we modelling a basic front-outside-tire burst steering condition, in which the tire blows out once the vertical pressure reach the predefined critical value. Through simulation on different adhesion coefficient road, the control strategy proposed in this paper performance quite better compare with the uncontrolled one in aspect of movement, burst tire protection, handling stability.

This paper presents the design of mixed H∞/H2Output Feedback Controller for Independent Drive Electric Vehicle Stability Control. It generates yaw moment by applying driving intervention at front Independent driving wheels according to the vehicle states. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated through a series of simulations under different velocity and different mass. The simulation results show that the controller can help vehicle against a certain range of uncertainty (speeds and loads) and get excellent robust performance.
