This paper deals with the controller design of the vehicle dynamics. In order to ensure the stability of the considered model, we propose an adaptive control law which forces the dynamics behavior to converge toward their equilibrium domain. This approach is based on the Lyapunov stability concept. The effectiveness of such scheme is illustrated by simulation results. Key wordNon linear systems...

In this work, we introduce an application of computer graphics to the validation of an automotive illumination system in dynamics conditions. We propose the creation of a virtual road, where it is possible to “drive” the vehicle for different kinds of tracks and to study the performance of the headlights in dynamics conditions on the road. The projection of the light is directly affected by the...

This paper presents a new LPV/H∞ semi-active suspension control strategy for a commercial vehicle equipped with 4 Magneto-Rheological dampers. The proposed approach concerns road adaptation using on-line road profile identification based on a non linear algebraic observer with unknown input. Then, the suspensions forces distribution in each corner of vehicle is performed considering roll dynami...

Modern motor vehicles are increasingly using active chassis control systems to replace traditional mechanical systems in order to improve vehicle handling, stability, and comfort. These chassis control systems can be classified into the three categories, according to their motion control of vehicle dynamics in the three directions, i.e. vertical, lateral, and longitudinal directions: 1) suspens...

Many vehicle control systems were designed and implemented in the last years to enhance performances and stability acting on front and/or rear steering actuators [1,2,3] and/or individual wheel braking [8]; the development of electroactuated differentials allows to transfer torque between wheels from the faster to the slower one in semiactive differentials [11,12,13,14] and in both directions i...

Model Predictive Controller (MPC) is a capable technique for designing Path Tracking (PTC) of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). The performance MPC can be significantly enhanced by adopting high-fidelity and accurate vehicle model. This model should capturing the full dynamics vehicle, including nonlinearities uncertainties, without imposing high computational cost MPC. A data-driven approach realised...
