A new vehicle stability control method integrated direct yaw moment control (DYC) with active front wheel steering (AFS) was proposed. On the basis of the vehicle nonlinear model, vehicle stable domain was determined by the phase plane of sideslip angle and sideslip angular velocity. When the vehicle was outside the stable domain, DYC was firstly used to produce direct yaw moment, which can make vehicle inside the stable domain. Then AFS sliding mode control was used to make the sideslip angle and yaw rate track the reference vehicle model. The simulation results show that the integrated controller improves vehicle stability more effectively than using the AFS controller alone.

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.
