Abstract
Good vehicle handling characteristics are essential to ensure traffic safety. In the integrated system of electric power steering (EPS) and active front steering (AFS), the steering wheel torque may change abruptly with the interference of active steering. The additional front road wheel angle generated by AFS gives rise to the change of tyre lateral force, which results in the change of steering wheel torque finally. Although the tyre forces are difficult to measure, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm can be used to estimate it. The problem of steering wheel torque change can be resolved by tyre forces estimate based on the EKF observer in nonlinear system. The vehicle nonlinear mathematical model is presented and a nonlinear tyre lateral force estimator is also established basing on EKF. The estimated tyre lateral forces can be applied to compensate the abrupt change of steering wheel torque, which realises the combination of vehicle states estimation and vehicle control. The simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink show the effectiveness of proposed control strategy.
