This paper presents a lateral stability control for rear wheel drive (RWD) vehicles using electronic limited slip differentials (eLSD). The proposed eLSD controller is designed to increase the understeer characteristic by transferring torque from the outside to inside wheel. The proposed algorithm is devised to improve the lateral responses at the steady state and transient cornering. In the steady state response, the proposed algorithm can extend the region of linear cornering response and can increase the maximum limit of available lateral acceleration. In the transient response, the proposed controller can reduce the yaw rate overshoot by increasing the understeer characteristic. The proposed algorithm has been investigated via computer simulations. In the simulation results, the performance of the proposed controller is compared with uncontrolled cases. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the vehicle lateral stability and handling performance.

The purpose of this study is to predict the stability and frequency response of multipurpose vehicle. The vehicle model has seven degrees of freedom. The motion equations are derived by using Lagrangian equation and linearized. The positions of eigenvalues of model which are dominated by lateral velocity, yaw rate, roll rate of sprung mass are used to predict the stability of motion. The resonse of sprung mass to steering wheel is simulated in time domain. It is predicted that the roll response of sprung mass would rather be improved by modifying the position of eigenvalues. The responses of sprung mass to steering wheel are also simulated in frequency domain. The magnitude and phase plots of gains are evaluated in driver's steering input frequency range.

본 논문에서는 안정성 영역 판별법(stability area) 기반 발사체의 자세제어기 이득결정과정에 대한 내용을 기술하였다. 안정성 영역 판별법은 D-Decomposition 기법으로부터 정의되는 것으로 본 논문에서는 D-Decomposition 기본 이론과 이로부터 산출된 발사체의 자세 안정성 영역을 도시하고, 적용 예로써 일반적인 발사체의 1단 추력 비행구간에서 자세제어기 설계과정을 제시하였다. 제어이득 결정을 위해서 중첩된 안정성 영역을 바탕으로 시스템 파라미터 불확실성을 고려 안정성 영역 경계(stability area boundary)를 설정하고, 선정된 제어이득을 발사체 선형모델에 적용, 자세 안정성 분석 수행 결과를 나타냈다.

Vehicle dynamic models in handing and stability analysis are divided into three groups: bicycle model, roll axis model and full vehicle model. Bicycle model is a simple linear model, which hag two wheels with load transfer being ignored. Roll axis model treats left and right wheels independently. In this model, load transfer has a great effect on nonlinearity of tire model. Effects of suspension system can be analyzed by using full vehicle model, which is included suspension stroke motions. In this paper, these models are validated and compared through comparison with road test, and the effects of suspension kinematics and compliance characteristics on vehicle motion are analyzed. In handling and stability analysis, roll axis model can simulate the real vehicle motion more accurately than full vehicle model. Compliance steer has a significant effect, but the effect of suspension kinematics is negligible.

In conventional Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) System, a control threshold is designed by average driver characteristics. Despite the stabilizing effort, VSC causes redundancy to an expert driver. An advanced VSC which has flexibility on its control property is proposed in this study. By using lateral velocity estimator, a control threshold is determined on side slip angle and angular velocity phase plane. Vehicle planar motion model based sliding controller is modified with respect to various control thresholds. The performance of the proposed VSC algorithm has been investigated by human-in-the-loop simulation using a vehicle simulator. The simulation results show that the control threshold has to be determined with respect to the driver steering characteristics. A VSC with variable control thresholds would provide an improvement compared to a VSC with a constant threshold.

경사지 과수의 효율적인 재배 및 관리를 위해 과수원 전용 고소 작업차량 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 이유로 작업자 안전을 위해 고소 작업차의 안정성에 대해 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 경사지 흙길을 주행할 수 있는 4개의 바퀴와 2개의 직교 좌표계 적재함을 가진 과수원 차량의 안정성 평가에 대한 연구이다. 차량 메커니즘에 대한 다물체 동역학(MBD) 해석을 통하여 19.2, $34.6^{\circ}$의 좌우 및 상하 방향의 전복각을 계산할 수 있었다. 바퀴들의 주행 저항과 소요 동력을 결정하였다. 그리고 적재함 프레임의 유한요소해석(FEA)를 통하여 최대응력 146 MPa로 구조적으로 안정하다. 따라서 적재함을 가진 바퀴형 과수원 차량은 정적 및 동적 안정성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes the development of a nonlinear observer for four wheel steer (4WS) vehicle. An observer is designed to estimate the vehicle variables difficult to measure directly. A brake yaw motion controller (BYMC), which uses a PID control method, is also proposed for controlling the brake pressure of the rear and inner wheels to enhance lateral stability. It induces the yaw rate to track the reference yaw rate, and it reduces a slip angle on a slippery road. The braking and steering performances of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and BYMC are evaluated for various driving conditions, including straight, J-turn, and sinusoidal maneuvers. The simulation results show that developed ABS reduces the stopping distance and increases the longitudinal stability. The observer estimates velocity, slip angle, and yaw rate of 4WS vehicle very well. The results also reveal that the BYMC improves vehicle lateral stability and controllability when various steering inputs are applied.

In this paper, assessed are the stability of vehicle and track according to vertical support stiffness difference on the transition between conventional and zero-longitudinal resistance (ZLR) rail fastener on bridge. For this, the spring constants of rail fastener have been determined according to different load ranges - KTX load (with or without impact factor) and test load of EN standards - from results of laboratory test on rail pad, the stability analysis of vehicle and track has been performed according to numbers or installation length of ZLR fasteners using vertical vehicle-track coupled model to consider train-track interaction. The analysis results reveal that only the wheel load variation slightly exceed the limit value when 2 ZLR fasteners are used with spring constant determined within the EN test load range, but, in all other cases, all evaluation items are satisfied. Thus, it can be said that the stability of vehicle and track will not be degraded by ZLR fastener.

The vehicle aerodynamic crosswind characteristics are mainly governed by the coefficient of side force and yawing moment. These performances affect not only the driving comfort which can be felt by driver but also the safety due to the instability of vehicle. The aims of this investigation are to improve the aerodynamic crosswind performance of sedan vehicle under the crosswind conditions. In order to improve the crosswind stability, numerical analysis has been performed by modifying the rear body shape of vehicle. As the results, we observed about 20% reduction of yawing moment coefficient relative to the base vehicle.

This paper proposes a traction control system (TCS) that uses a sliding mode wheel slip controller and a PID throttle valve controller. In addition, a yaw motion controller (YMC) is also developed to improve lateral stability using a PID rear wheel steering angle controller. The dynamics of a vehicle and characteristics of the controllers are validated using a proposed full-car model. A driver model is also designed to steer the vehicle during maneuvers on a split ${\mu}$ road and double lane change maneuver. The simulation results show that the proposed full-car model is sufficient to predict vehicle responses accurately. The developed TCS provides improved acceleration performances on uniform slippery roads and split ${\mu}$ roads. When the vehicle is cornering and accelerating with the brake or engine TCS, understeer occurs. An integrated TCS eliminates these problems. The YMC with the integrated TCS improved the lateral stability and controllability of the vehicle.
