Abstract

Integration of vehicle chassis control system has gained increasing attention since it can improve the vehicle safety and performance through effective coordination of individual control systems. This paper presents the development of an integrated control system of active front steering and normal force control using fuzzy reasoning to enhance the vehicle-handling performance. Individual control systems were first developed, and then their performances were compared with that of the integrated system. The simulation results indicate that the integrated chassis control scheme utilizing the steering and suspension controllers has proven to be more effective in attaining the desired performance that would not be attained individually.
