Integrated Steering Control in SUVs

The project proposes an integrated control system for rear-wheel drive vehicles that combines active front steering and semi-active rear differential control to enhance stability during oversteer and understeer conditions. Using simulations on a CarSim® small SUV model, the study demonstrates improved performance and safety in cornering maneuvers, particularly in emergencies. The analysis includes longitudinal stability assessments using MATLAB, confirming the advantages of the integrated system over traditional active front steering alone.

Integrated Active Front Steering and Semi-Active Rear
Differential Control in Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles

Many vehicle control systems are based on the yaw rate error to
help the driver during oversteer and understeer conditions. The
control systems usually operate on brake pressures distributions
such as ESP and/or on active front and rear steering control. The
main contribution of this project is to show for a CarSim® small
SUV model the stability of a proportional integral active front
steering control from the yaw rate tracking error integrated with an
electronically controlled semi-active rear differential from the rear
wheel speed measurements; the stability analysis is based on
Lyapunov techniques. The integrated controlled system shows
increased performances: new stable cornering manoeuvres and
increased safety especially in emergency conditions. Several
simulations are carried out on a standard CarSim® small SUV
model to confirm the analysis and to explore the robustness with
respect to unmodelled combined lateral and longitudinal tire forces
according to combined slip theory and unmodelled dynamics such
pitch and roll. The simulations on CarSim® vehicle show the
benefits of using the proposed integrated control with respect to
the case in which only active front steering is employed.
Longitudinal Stability Analysis is also done for the SUV in the
non-linear region using MATLAB.
