This paper presents a novel lateral stability control system for electric vehicle based on sideslip angle estimation through Kalman filter using the integration of a single antenna GPS receiver and yaw rate sensor. Using multi-rate measurements including yaw rate and course angle, time-varying parameters disappear from the measurement equation of the proposed Kalman filter. Accurate sideslip an...

For a linear model of active car steering a robust decoupling control law by feedback of the yaw rate to front wheel steering was derived earlier. In the present paper this control law is extended by feedback of the yaw rate to rear wheel steering. A controller structure with one free damping parameter k D is derived with the following properties: i) Damping and natural frequency of the yaw mod...

This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

in front wheels driven vehicles, fuel economy can be obtained by summing torques applied to rear wheels. on the other hand, unequal torques applied to rear wheels provides enhanced safety. in this paper, a model with seven degrees of freedom is considered for the vehicle body. thereafter, power-train subsystems are modeled. considering an electrical machine on each rear wheel, a fuzzy controlle...

Electric vehicles with independently controlled drivetrains allow torque vectoring, which enhances active safety and handling qualities. This article proposes an approach for the concurrent control of yaw rate sideslip angle based on a single-input single-output (SISO) controller. With SISO formulation, reference is first defined according to vehicle requirements then corrected actual angle. Th...

This thesis presents new results in the design and the integration of the active front/rear steering control with front/rear electronic differential in four wheel drive and steering vehicles; an application to vision based autonomous lane keeping control is also deployed. In four wheel steering vehicles it is shown that the lateral speed and yaw rate dynamics can be asymptotically decoupled by ...

A simplified yaw-attitude modeling, consistent with Bar-Sever (1996), has been implemented and tested in the NRCan PPP software. For Block IIR GPS satellite it is possible to model yaw-attitude control during eclipsing periods by using the constant hardware yaw rate of 0.20 /s. The Block IIR satellites maintain the nominal yaw attitude even during a shadow crossing (Y. E. Bar-Sever, private com...

By considering a four-wheel-motor EV, the present paper addresses the EV stabilization using the advantages of electrical motorized wheels incorporation. The decoupling of the control of the active steering control (AFS) and the direct yaw moment control (DYC) as a way of controlling the vehicle’s body slip angle and its yaw rate simultaneously, also allows the stabilization of the lateral moti...

In this paper, a novel yaw moment control system is proposed to improve vehicle’s handling and stability. The control system includes reference model, DYC controller, Distributer, and Smith predictor. The reference model is used to obtain the desired yaw rate. The DYC controller determines the desired yaw moment by means of sliding-mode technique. The Distributer, based on maneuverability and c...
