Many researches on vehicle planar motion stability focus on two degrees of freedom(2DOF) vehicle model, and only the lateral velocity (or side slip angle) and yaw rate are considered as the state variables. The stability analysis methods, such as phase plane analysis, equilibriums analysis and bifurcation analysis, are all used to draw many classical conclusions. It is concluded from these rese...

In this paper, the robust stability analysis of a fuzzy vehicle lateral system with perturbed parameters is presented. Firstly, the fuzzy controller can be linearized by utilizing the describing function method with experiments. After the describing function is obtained, the stability analysis of the vehicle lateral control system with the variations of velocity and friction is then carried out...

This paper presents the results of a lateral control strategy that has been applied to the problem of steering an autonomous vehicle using vision. The lateral control law has been designed for any kind of car-like vehicle presenting the Ackerman kinematic model, accounting for the vehicle velocity as a crucial parameter for adapting the steering control response. This makes the control strategy...

The stability analysis of articulated frame steer vehicle models is presented. To reveal the relationship between the “oversteer” and “jack-knife” motion modes based on a 2 degree of freedom (DOF) and 3 DOF vehicle models, respectively, the results derived from these models are investigated and compared. To identify the effects of design variables on the lateral stability of the vehicle, a more...

Vehicle lateral dynamics are affected by vehicle mass, longitudinal velocity, vehicle inertia, and the cornerin stiffness of the tires. All of these parameters are su%ject to variation, even over the course of a single trip. Therefore, a practical lateral control system must guarantee stability, and hopefully ride comfort, over a wide range of parameter changes. T+ paper describes a robust cont...

in addition to increment of the vehicle sprung mass, the main physical effects of addition of cng tank to the vehicle are the longitudinal and height displacement of center of gravity, which have the most influences on the handling, braking, roll stability and spin stability of the vehicle. increment of cng tank mass to the sprung mass of the vehicle increases the vehicle under-steer gradient, ...

This paper presents a nonlinear PID neural controller for the 2-DOF vehicle model in order to improve stability and performances of vehicle lateral dynamics by achieving required yaw rate and reducing lateral velocity in a short period of time to prevent vehicle from sliding out the curvature. The scheme of the discrete-time PID control structure is based on neural network and tuned the paramet...

in this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (ags). this system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. for this purpose, suitable controller needs to change mo...
