An LP V/H∞ integrated Vehicle Dynamic Controller

چکیده
This paper is concerned with the design and analysis of a new multivariable LPV/H∞ (Linear Parameter Varying) robust control design strategy for Global Chassis Control. The main objective of this study is to handle critical driving situations by activating several controller subsystems in a hierarchical way. The proposed solution consists indeed in a two-step control strategy that uses semiactive suspensions, active steering and electro-mechanical braking actuators. The main idea of the strategy is to schedule the 3 control actions (braking, steering and suspension) according to the driving situation evaluated by a specific monitor. Indeed, on one hand, rear braking and front steering are used to enhance the vehicle yaw stability and lateral dynamics, and on the other hand, the semi-active suspensions to improve comfort and car handling performances. Thanks to the LPV/H∞ framework, this new approach allows to reach a smooth coordination between the various actuators, to ensure robustness and stability of the proposed solution, and to significantly improve the vehicle dynamical behavior. Simulations have been performed on a complex full vehicle model which has been validated using data obtained from experimental tests on a real Renault Mégane Coupé. Moreover, the suspension system uses MagnetoRheological dampers whose characteristics have been obtained through experimental identification tests. A comparison between the proposed LPV/H∞ control strategy and a classical LTI/H∞ controller is performed using the same simulation scenarios and confirms the effectiveness of this approach.
