Coordination Control of Active Steering and Direct Yaw Control for the Articulated Steering Vehicle

Lateral stability is vital to vehicle handling stability and traffic safety. It is also a crucial factor for the path-tracking ability of the vehicle in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). Most of the research focuses on vehicles with an Ackerman steering system. The ASV (articulated steeri...

description Lateral stability is vital to vehicle handling stability and traffic safety. It is also a crucial factor for the path-tracking ability of the vehicle in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). Most of the research focuses on vehicles with an Ackerman steering system. The ASV (articulated steering vehicle) has a lower steering radius. Thus, it is widely used in some special vehicles, such as mining and construction vehicles. The ASV has weaker lateral stability than the vehicle with an Ackerman steering system. To improve the stability of an ASV, the nonlinear lateral dynamic model is established and validated by field test. With the lateral dynamic model, the steering characteristic of the ASV is analyzed. Based on the stability criteria analysis, the vehicle sideslip angle and angular velocity phase portrait are chosen as the stability indicator. An integrated AASS (active articulated steering system) DYC (direct yaw control) controller based on the adaptive MPC (model predictive control) method is designed according to the track on the phase plane. The double lane-change and 0.7 Hz sine with dwell maneuver are initiated based on the integrated vehicle dynamic model. The results suggest that the provided controller has a better stability performance than the current antiwindup PID control algorithm. It lays a good foundation for the vehicle safety and path tracking of ASV in the ITS.
