Abstract

This paper proposes a new electronic camber suspension mechanism in which the suspension geometry rather than brake and driving torques is controlled to improve the cornering performance. The new camber angle mechanism is made available in a double wishbone type suspension. The bicycle model is employed to establish the control strategy for the camber angle mechanism. The referenced yaw rate is derived to make the control input. To carry out the control simulation of the full car, ADAMS/Car and MATLAB/Simulink are used. The result of fishhook simulation indicates that the proposed mechanism reduces the camber angle generation and decreases the camber thrust. This makes the vehicle move straight forward easily. The single lane change simulation indicates that the change of camber angle is small and it contributes to the short cornering and fast straight forward ability.
