Abstract

The benefits of Vehicle Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are well understood with regard to assisting drivers to maintain vehicle control during extreme handling maneuvers or when extreme road conditions are encountered. The goal of this paper is to study and develop an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system model by utilizing the functionality of Matlab-Simulink and used Carsim to validate the developed ESC model. A certain vehicle dynamics model created in Car Sim was validated by comparing simulation results with quasi-static and dynamic test data. The ESC system model was built in Simulink and was tuned through cosimulation with the Car Sim vehicle model. The ESC system was designed to operate in Yaw Stability Control (YSC) and Roll Stability Control (RSC) modes. The performance of the system was evaluated using the Sine with Dwell and Fishhook maneuvers. This study proved the possibility to develop functional ESC system given a Carsim vehicle model and simulate the performance comparable to actual ESC system onboard the vehicle.
