TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Integrated brake based torque vectoring control of vehicle yaw rate and side-slip angle with rollover-prevention JO - International journal of vehicle modelling and testing A1 - Poovendran, Karthik A1 - Botha, Theunis R. A1 - Els, P. Schalk SP - 222 EP - 243 VL - 17 IS - 3/4 N2 - Torque vectoring is used on vehicles to improve stability and improve vehicle directional control. These systems are developed on sports vehicles and implemented on sport utility vehicles with a high centre of gravity. This may result in an increase in roll propensity of the vehicles. This paper develops and experimentally evaluates a model predictive control (MPC) based torque vectoring system with yaw rate and slip-angle control while incorporating a rollover limit based on the zero moment point rollover index. The developed MPC is compared to a baseline linear quadratic regulator (LQR) based yaw rate controller in simulation. The final controller is evaluated experimentally with a sport utility vehicle. The proposed controller was found to improve vehicle handling while reducing rollover propensity.
