Nonlinear lateral motion stability control method for electric vehicle based on the combination of dual extended state observer and domination approach via sampled-data output feedback

Abstract

This paper studies lateral motion stability control method for an electric vehicle (EV) with uncertain disturbances. Aiming to suppress the influence of uncertain disturbances, a novel method based on the combination of dual extended state observer (dESO) and domination approach is proposed. The proposed method enables the designed controller just to adopt a smaller scaling gain than the classic domination method, which is more practical for the controller in engineering. Firstly, a dESO is proposed to estimate the uncertain disturbances of the system. Also, a sampled-data output feedback domination approach is designed to dominate the disturbances by using a scaling gain. Then, the sampled-data output feedback control law is constructed based on the dESO and domination approach called dESOD. Furthermore, the stability analysis is presented to show that the proposed sampled-data controller can guarantee the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable. Finally, the simulations and experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
