A recursive least square (RLS) algorithm for estimation of vehicle sideslip angle and road friction coefficient is proposed. The algorithm uses the information from sensors onboard vehicle and control inputs from the control logic and is intended to provide the essential information for active safety systems such as active steering, direct yaw moment control, or their combination. Based on a simple two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) vehicle model, the algorithm minimizes the squared errors between estimated lateral acceleration and yaw acceleration of the vehicle and their measured values. The algorithm also utilizes available control inputs such as active steering angle and wheel brake torques. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using an 8-DOF full vehicle simulation model including all essential nonlinearities and an integrated active front steering and direct yaw moment control on dry and slippery roads.

This paper presents a Direct Yaw-moment Control (DYC) strategy to prevent light vehicles from entering the unsteady state and improve the handling stability. A novelty of this work is the ability to achieve superior performance through the lower workload of the actuators by using the optimal control allocation method to distribute the active yaw moment. In the main-loop, the DYC controller is designed based on the classical PID algorithm with the yaw rate and sideslip angle feedback. Simulation tests are carried out on the conditions of sine steering and single lane change steering. Results indicate that the working potential of each actuator can be fully utilized and a significant improvement in handling stability can be achieved from the DYC system.

Abstract This paper studies the benefits of coordinating stability and steerability controllers to reduce vehicle deceleration during limit handling situations. The stability controller, DYC, uses the vehicle brakes to apply a restoring moment when the vehicle sideslip angle and sideslip velocity exceed fixed bounds. This use of the brakes interferes with the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle in a way that drivers find undesirable. Active front steering (AFS) and active rear steering(ARS) can be used to tune the vehicle handling balance in the low to mid-range lateral-acceleration regime. Earlier work has shown that the use of AFS can reduce the interference observed using DYC alone. The levels of improvement achievable by coordinating AFS and ARS with DYC are quantified using open loop handling simulations tests by predicting the deceleration of the vehicle in an extreme manoeuvre. The results from these simulations are compared to assess the relative benefits of AFS and ARS when coordinated with DYC. The computer simulations are based on a four-degree of freedom vehicle model incorporating longitudinal, lateral, yaw, roll, and load transfer effects.

This paper has investigated an integrated control of active front steering (AFS) and direct yaw-moment control (DYC) for vehicle systems. First of all, the desired yaw rate and sideslip angle are estimated by using a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) model of the vehicle system. On this basis, the actual sideslip angle is estimated by means of an observer. Then, the sliding mode control (SMC) is developed for AFS and DYC, respectively, to guarantee that the actual yaw rate and the sideslip angle track their reference signals. Additionally, the disturbance observer (DOB) technique is introduced to further improve the control performance. Finally, the simulation results validate the superiority of the AFS and DYC integrated control by using CarSim software during the following conditions: double lane change and side wind disturbance.

Basically, there are two main techniques to control the vehicle yaw moment. First method is the indirect yaw moment control, which works on the basis of active steering control (ASC). The second one being the direct yaw moment control (DYC), which is based on either the differential braking or the torque vectoring. An innovative idea for the direct yaw moment control is introduced by using an active controller system to supervise the lateral dynamics of vehicle and perform as an active yaw moment control system, denoted as the stabilizer pendulum system (SPS). This idea has further been developed, analyzed, and implemented in a standalone direct yaw moment control system, as well as, in an integrated vehicle dynamic control system with a differential braking yaw moment controller. The effectiveness of SPS has been evaluated by model simulation, which illustrates its superior performance especially on low friction roads.
