Abstract:

In order to improve the handling stability of active four?wheel steering vehicle based on the Steer by Wire technology, a nonlinear triple?step method is adopted to the linear active four?wheel steering systems so as to track the output of the ideal reference model. The proposed scheme consists of three parts: steady?state?like control, feedforward control considering the variation of the reference signal, and state?dependent error feedback control. The method guarantees that the actual sideslip angle and yaw rate can track the ideal sideslip angle and the ideal yaw rate by the control of the front wheel angle and rear wheel angle of active four wheel systems. A nonlinear eight DOF vehicle model is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Simulation results show that the designed controller can track the output of ideal reference model and improve the handling stability of the active four?wheel steering system.

Key words: automatic control technology, active four wheel steering, model tracking, triple?step method, handing stability
