In the turning maneuver of the vehicle, its motion is mainly dependent on the genuine steering characteristics in view of the directional stability for stable turning ability. The under steer vehicle has an ability to maintain its own directonal performance for unknown external disturbances to some extent. From a few years ago, in order to acquire the more enhanced handling performance, some types of four wheel steering vehicle were considered and constructed. And, various rear wheel control logics for external disturbances has not been suggested. For this reason, in this posed rear wheel control logic is based on the yaw rate feed back type and is slightly modified by an yaw rate tuning factor for more stable turning performance. And an external disturbance is defined as a motivation of the additional yaw rate in the center of gravity by an uncertain input. In this study, an external disturbance is applied to the vehicle as a form of the additional yawing moment. Finally, the proposed rear wheel control logic is tested on the multi-body analysis software(ADAMS). J-turn and double lane change test are performed for the validation of the control logic.

This paper presents a mathematical model which is about the dynamics of not only a two wheel steering vehicle but a four wheel steering vehicle. A sliding mode ABS control strategy and PID rear wheel control logic are developed to improve the brake and cornering performances, and enhance the stability during emergency maneuvers. The performances of the controllers are evaluated under the various driving road conditions and driving situations. The numerical study shows that the proposed full car model is sufficient to accurately predict the vehicle response. The proposed ABS controller reduces the stopping distance and increases the vehicle stability. The results also prove that the ABS controller can be employed to a four wheel steering vehicle and improves its performance. The four wheel steering vehicle with PID rear wheel controller shows increase of stability when a vehicle speed is high and sharp cornering maneuver when a vehicle speed is low compared to that of a two wheel steer vehicle.

An Integrated Dynamics Control system with four wheel Steering (IDCS) is proposed and analysed in this study. It integrates and controls steer angle of front and rear wheel simultaneously to enhance lateral stability and steerability. An active front steer (AFS) system and an active rear steer (ARS) system are also developed to compare their performances. The systems are evaluated during brake maneuver and several road conditions are used to test the performances. The results showed that IDCS vehicle follows the reference yaw rate and reduces side slip angle very well. AFS and ARS vehicles track the reference yaw rate but they can not reduce side slip angle. On split-${\mu}$ road, IDCS controller forces the vehicle to go straight ahead but AFS and ARS vehicles show lateral deviation from centerline.

In this paper, I proposed an independent control system for a driving motor that directly connects and controls two motors to the rear driving wheel. Typical electric vehicles have used differential gears to distribute and transmit the output from one driving motor to each rear wheel. However, the differential gear is one of the very heavy parts in the electric vehicle, and causes a lot of power loss in the process of transmitting power. Therefore, I want to install two motors to control each wheel directly and remove the differential gears. Each rear wheel is independently controlled by two motors to suit the driving situation of the vehicle. When the vehicle is going straight, the controller synchronizes the rotational speed of the two wheels to make the vehicle go straight, and when the vehicle is turning, the vehicle can rotate by varying the rotational speed of each rear wheel according to the steering angle and driving speed of the vehicle. And since each rear wheel is controlled independently, it is expected that it can be controlled to perform the function of the limited slip differential through a program in a situation where the gripping force of one driving wheel decreases.

The proportional pressure control valve(PCV) is an essential component in the open loop controlled rear wheel steering gear of the four wheel steering(4WS) system on the passenger car. The valve should have versatile functions and higher performance. But, it is hard to find the proportional pressure control valve suitable for the 4WS system. In this paper, the determination of the valve parameters was studied by the stability discrimination and the characteristic analysis for the purpose of the development of a new PCV for the 4WS. The mathematical model of the valve was derived from the valve-cylinder system and the programme for numerical computation was developed. The transfer function of the system was obtained from the mathematical model. The characteristics of the valve were inspected through the experiment and compared to those obtained by numerical method. And then the stability discrimination of the system was done by root locus and the analysis of characteristics was done by the developed programme. From the experiment and the analysis of characteristics was done by the developed programme. From the experiment and the inspection, the appropriation of mathematical model and the usefulness of the programme were confirmed. And the parameters which might affect the performance of the valve can be determined by considering the stability discrimination, the characteristics analysis and required functions.

This study is to develop a vehicle Integrated Dynamics Control System(IDCB) that can stabilize the lateral dynamics and maintain steerability. To accomplish this task, an eight degree of freedom vehicle model and a nonlinear observer are designed. The IDCB independently controls the brake systems of four wheels with a fuzzy logic control and a sliding model control. The result shows that the nonlinear observer produced satisfactory results. IDCB tracked the reference yaw rate and reduced the body slip angle under all tested conditions. It indicates that the IDCB enhanced lateral stability and preserved steerability.

This study is to develop and evaluate an AFS and an ARS controllers to enhance lateral stability of a vehicle. A sliding mode control (SMC) and a fuzzy logic control (FLC) methods are applied to calculate the desired additional steering angle of AFS equipped vehicle or desired rear steer angle of ARS equipped vehicle. To validate AFS and ARS systems, an eight degree of freedom, nonlinear vehicle model and an ABS controllers are also used. Several road conditions are used to test the performances. The results showed that the yaw rate of the AFS and the ARS vehicle followed the reference yaw rate very well within the adhesion limit. However, the AFS improves the lateral stability near the limit compared with the ARS. Because the SMC and the FLC show similar vehicle responses, performance discrimination is small. On split-${\mu}$ road, the AFS and the ARS vehicle had enhanced the lateral stability.
