Abstract

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.
