Abstract

This paper describes a unified chassis control (UCC) strategy to prevent vehicle rollover and improve vehicle lateral stability. A rollover index (RI), which indicates impending rollover, and a model-based roll state estimator are introduced to detect potential rollover. An RI/lateral stability-based rollover mitigation (ROM) controller is designed to reduce the danger of rollover without loss of vehicle lateral stability by integrating electronic stability control (ESC) and continuous damping control (CDC). Simulation results indicate that significant improvement in vehicle rollover prevention and lateral stability can be expected from the proposed UCC system.
