Abstract
Vehicle systems are frequently exposed to parameter uncertainties such as vehicle speed and height of center of gravity. If a controller is designed to be robust against these parameter uncertainties, the rollover prevention capability can be considerably enhanced. In this study, robust controllers $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ are designed by using LMI for vehicle rollover prevention control in the discrete time domain. Some simulations using CarSim, a reliable simulation tool, are performed to validate the proposed controllers.
