Abstract

This study proposes a control system to improve vehicle handling and stability under severe driving conditions by actively controlling the front steering angle and the distribution of braking forces on four tires. With the application of a model-matching control technique, this proposed control system makes the performance of the actual vehicle model follow that of an ideal vehicle model with consideration of nonlinearity of tire characteristics. Finally, this paper investigates the effectiveness of control system during the following conditions: braked cornering, lane change and side wind disturbance.
