Abstract
When a ground vehicle runs at high speeds, even a slight excess in the wheel steering angle can immediately cause the vehicle to slide sideways and lose control. In this study, we propose an active safety control system designed to address emergency situations where the driver applies excessive steering input and the vehicle speed varies significantly during control. The system combines the direct yaw moment (DYM) method with a steering saturation scheme that prevents excessive driver steering input from adversely influencing the front-wheel steering. Consequently, the control system allows the DYM to focus more on other stabilization tasks and maintain tire/road friction within its workable linear range. The implementation relies on a reference steering angle and a reference vehicle state, derived from a linear vehicle model considering tire/road friction limitations. When the driver’s steering angle and the system state deviate from these reference values, the control system intervenes by applying both the steering saturation scheme and DYM method. This ensures the front-wheel steering angle and system state remain close to the reference values. The control strategy is developed using the polytopic Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) technique and Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) to account for the changes in vehicle speed. It is further enhanced with an input saturation technique based on a high-gain approach, which improves control utilization and system response during emergency situations. The advantages of the proposed control strategy are demonstrated through simulation results.
