This study proposes a map-based control method to improve a vehicle's lateral stability, and the performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the conventional model-referenced control method. Model-referenced control uses the sliding mode method to determine the compensated yaw moment; in contrast, the proposed map-based control uses the compensated yaw moment map acquired by vehicle stability analysis. The vehicle stability region is calculated by a topological method based on the trajectory reversal method. The performances of model-referenced control and map-based control are compared under various road conditions and driving inputs. Model-referenced control uses a control input to satisfy the linear reference model, and it generates unnecessary tire lateral forces that may lead to worse performance than an uncontrolled vehicle with step steering input on a road with low friction coefficient. The simulation results show that map-based control provides better stability than model-referenced control.

Reference trajectory generation plays a key role in the computer control for accurate position control of machine. Generated trajectories must not only describe the desired tool path accurately, but must also have smooth kinetic profiles in order to maintain higher tracking accuracy, and to avoid exciting the natural modes of the mechanical servo control system. To achieve higher accurate position control, a method of limiting accelerating and decelerating speed data of reference trajectories is proposed to draw the path with an assigned accuracy without any complex operations.
