This paper presents unified chassis control (UCC) to improve the vehicle lateral stability. The unified chassis control implies combined control of active front steering (AFS), electronic stability control (ESC) and continuous damping control (CDC). A direct yaw moment controller based on a 2-D bicycle model is designed by using sliding mode control law. A direct roll moment controller based on a 2-D roll model is designed. The computed direct yaw moment and the direct roll moment are generated by AFS, ESP and CDC control modules respectively. A control authority of the AFS and the ESC is determined by tire slip angle. Computer simulation is conducted to evaluate the proposed integrated chassis controller by using the Matlab, simulink and the validated vehicle simulator. From the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed unified chassis control can provide with improved performance over the modular chassis control.

Conventionally, 2WS is used for vehicle sleeting, which can only steering front wheel. In case of trying to high speed slalom or emergency through this kind of vehicle equipped 2WS, it may occur much of side slip angle. On the other hand, 4WS makes decreasing of side slip angle, outstandingly, so it is possible to support vehicle movement stable. And conventional ABS and TCS can only possible control the longitudinal movement of braking equipment and drive which can only availab to control of longitudinal direction. There after new braking system ESP was developed, which controls both of longitudinal and lateral, with adding of the function of controlling Active Yaw Moment. On this paper, we show about not only designing of improed braking and steering system through establishing of the integrated control system design of 4WS and ESP but also designing of the system contribute to precautious for advanced vehicle stability problem.

This paper proposes an advanced suspension system and reports its performance in the framework of the preview control algorithm based on the RPS (road profile sensing) system and MSD system with the multi-stage damping characteristics. Typical disturbance inputs that cause excessive vibration and steering instability of an automobile are irregular obstacles that protrude or sink into the road surface to be driven. The control performance can be improved if information on the existence and shape function of its obstacle is known. Based on the results of the previous study, advanced research that uses the actuating system has been processed to be commercialized practically. For this purpose, a switching algorithm between the control logic and the multi-stage damping system was developed and its connectivity is presented. To verify the applicability of an actual vehicle, the proposed control system was implemented in full vehicle models and simulations were performed. The proposed system using the 3-DS actuator system, which is applied for structural simplicity, can improve the ride comfort and steering stability. In addition, the results indicate the feasibility of the intelligently controlled suspension system.

This paper represents the sensor combination technique of mobile robot to reduce the ambiguity and uncertainty of environment that prevents the mobile robot from recognizing the path planning and navigation. The sensors such as optical encoder, ultra sonar sensor, and infra-red sensor gathered the dynamic information of mobile robot that are used to detect the obstacle. Therefore, the mobile robot controller with sensor combination is stably demonstrated by the experimental results.

The current test methods are insufficient to evaluate and ensure the safety and reliability of vehicle system for all possible dynamic situation including the worst case such as rollover, spin-out and so on. Although the known NHTSA J-turn and Fish-hook steering maneuvers are applied for the vehicle performance assessment, they aren't enough to estimate other possible worst case scenarios. Therefore, it is crucial for us to verify the various worst cases including the existing severe steering maneuvers. This paper includes the procedure to search for other useful worst case based upon the existing worst case scenarios mentioned above and its application in simulation basis. The only human steering angle is selected as a design parameter here and optimized to maximize the index function to be expressed in terms of either roll angle or yaw rate. The obtained scenarios were enough to generate the worst case to meet NHTSA worst case definition (ex.2-inch wheel lift). Additionally, as an application, the worst case steering maneuver is acquired for the vehicle to operate with a simple ESP system. It has been concluded that the new procedure in this paper is adequate to create other feasible worst case scenarios for a vehicle system both with an intelligent safety control system and without it.
