The driver model during drift cornering was examined, and a technique to improve vehicle movement performance during drift cornering was investigated. Based on the results obtained, the driver was found to steer using feedback of the body slip angle and the body slip angle velocity during drift cornering. Moreover, improvement of the cornering force characteristic, at which exceeded the maximum cornering force calm as much as possible is important.

In this paper the effects of suspension design parameters on the steady-state cornering performance of vehicles are studied. To investigate the understeer characteristics of vehicles, steady-state cornering equatons are derived from a two-track model which is expanded from a simple one track model. The effects of the suspension design parameters as well as those of lateral load transfer are taken into consideration. To verify the equation, a skid pad test was carried out with a domestic passenger car. The design parameters of the vehicle are measured using a Suspension Parameter Measuring Device(SPMD). Based on these results, parameter studies are carried out to determine the effect of design parameters on the cornering performance of a vehicle, both in low and high acceleration region.

A new Fuzzy sliding mode controller is proposed to improve the cornering performance of the four wheel hybrid vehicles. The Fuzzy sliding mode control is applied for the control of rear motor and EHB (Electro-Hydraulic Brake) to improve the cornering performance. The modeling of the automobile is simplified that each of the two wheels is modeled as two degrees of freedom object and the friction coefficient between the wheel and the ground is assumed to be constant. The output of the Fuzzy sliding mode algorithm is the direct yaw moment for the rear wheels, which compensates for the slip angle. Through the simulations using ADAMS and MATLAB Simulink, the cornering performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to the conventional PID to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm. In the simulation experiments, the J-Turn and single lane change are used for each of the Fuzzy sliding mode algorithm and PID controller with the optimal gains which are tuned empirically.

In this study, a simulation tool is developed in order to investigate non steadystate cornering performance of 4WD/4WS vehicles. The 4WD/4WS vehicles are modeled as a 8-th order dynamic system which includes complex non-linear vehicle dynamics and tire models. The vehicle models are constructed into a modulated simulation tool and are utilized for analyzing cornering performance such as combined braking and steering, cornering on the icy read and $\mu$-split braking, The whole analysis is done with the simulation tool which consists of a number of subsystems and offers graphic environment. Simulation results show that this tool is useful and cost-effective in the dynamic analysis of the combustion-engine vehicles as well as electrically driven vehicles.

We propose time-optimal cornering motion trajectory planning and control algorithms for differential wheeled mobile robot with motor actuating voltage constraint, under piecewise constant control input condition. For time-optimal cornering trajectory generation, 1) we considered mobile robot's dynamics including actuator motors, 2) divided the cornering trajectory into one liner section, followed by two cornering section with angular acceleration and deceleration, and finally one liner section, and 3) formulated an efficient trajectory generation algorithm satisfying the bang-bang control principle. Also we proposed an efficient trajectory control algorithm and implemented with an X-bot to prove the performance.

In this study, a simulation tool is developed in order to investigate non steady-state cornering performance of 6WD/6WS special-purpose vehicles. 6WD vehicles are believed to have good performance on off-the-road maneuvering and to have fail-safe capabilities. But the cornering performances of 6WS vehicles are not well understood in the related literature. In this paper, 6WD/6WS vehicles are modeled as a 18 DOF system which includes non-linear vehicle dynamics, tire models, and kinematic effects. Then the vehicle model is constructed into a simulation tool using the MATLAB /SIMULINK so that input/output and vehicle parameters can be changed easily with the modulated approach. Cornering performance of the 6WS vehicle is analyzed for brake steering and pivoting, respectively. Simulation results show that cornering performance depends on the middle-wheel steering as well as front/rear wheel steering. In addition, a new 6WS control law is proposed in order to minimize the sideslip angle. Lane change simulation results demonstrate the advantage of 6WS vehicles with the proposed control law.

Stochastic simulation technique has advantages over deterministic simulation in various engineering analysis, since stochastic simulation can take into consideration of scattering of various design variables, which is inherent characteristics of physical world. In this work, Monte-Carlo simulation mothod in ADAMS/Insight for steady-state cornering and J-turn behavior of a truck with design variables like hard points and busing stiffnesses have performed to achieve better dynamic performance. The main purpose is to improve understeer gradient at steady-state cornering and minimize peak lateral acceleration and peak yaw rate at J-turn. Through correlation analysis, design variables that have high impacts on the cornering behavior were selected, and significant performance improvement has been achieved by appropriately changing the high impact design variables.

본 연구에서 모사 프로그램이 6WD/6WS를 가진 특수 목적 차량의 비정상상태 코너링 성능을 조사하기 위해 개발되었다. 6WD 차량은 비포장 도로에서 작전을 수행하기 좋은 성능을 가지고 있고 안전한 성능을 가진 것으로 신뢰받고 있다. 그러나, 6WS 차량들의 코너링 성능은 관련 문헌을 통해서는 언뜻 이해가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 6WD/6WS 차량들은 비선형 차량 동력학, 타이어 모델, 운동학적 효과 등을 포함한 18 자유도 시스템으로 모델링 되었다. 그리고 그 차량 모델은 입/출력과 차량변수가 수식화된 접근 방법으로 쉽게 변환될 수 있도록 MATLAB/SIMULINK를 사용한 모사 프로그램으로 구성되었다. 6WS 차량의 코너링 성능은 브레이크 휠과 피봇팅 각각으로 해석되었다. 모사 결과들을 보면, 코너링 성능은 전후 휠 조향 뿐만이 아니라 중간 휠 조향에 따라 좌우됨을 보여준다. 덧붙여, 새로운 6WS 제어법칙은 측면 미끄러짐 각을 최소화하기 위해 제안되었다. 차량변경 모사 결과들은 제안된 제어법칙의 6WS 차량의 장점을 보여준다.

We constructed an efficient motion planning algorithm satisfying the bang-bang principle. Various simulations and experiments reveal the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The influence of tire belt angle on the Plysteer Residual Aligning Torque(PRAT) and the cornering stiffness by the FEM has been studied. The PRAT is a performance factor of the tire about vehicle pull, and the cornering stiffness has relation to vehicle steering response of outdoor test. To validate FE model for analysis, simulation data for both the static stiffness(vertical, lateral) and the PRAT have been compared with the experimental data. In addition to the characteristics of the PRAT and the cornering stiffness due to the tire belt angle, rolling and cornering contact characteristics have been studied. The tendency of the PRAT and the cornering stiffness due to the belt angle can be used as a guide line for the tire design in relation to vehicle pull and vehicle steering response.
