Abstract
Aiming at the difficulty of vehicle lateral control in high-speed condition, a comprehensive control method that integrates active steering (AS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) systems is proposed for four-wheel independent driving and four-wheel independent steering (4WID/4WIS) vehicle. According to the characteristics of lateral dynamics in high-speed conditions, different principles are adopted in different steering conditions. In a slight or moderate steering, a decoupling control method is proposed, and a penalty function is used to allocate the involvement of AS and DYC for the over-actuated characteristics of 4WID/4WIS vehicle. While in a large steering, based on sideslip phase plane, handling-oriented and stability-oriented control are proposed in order to realise a fine trade-off between handling and stability performance. A transient layer is introduced in the phase plane to further improve the performance of this controller. And the allocation of active yaw moment is also discussed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed integrated control method can effectively improve the lateral dynamics performance of the vehicle in high-speed condition as compared to previous control methods.
