This article presents a comparison among several yaw and roll motion controllers for vehicle rollover prevention. In the previous research, yaw and roll motion controllers can be independently designed for rollover prevention. Following this idea, several yaw and roll motion controllers are designed and compared in terms of rollover prevention. For the yaw motion control, PID, LQR, SMC (Sliding Mode Control) and TDC (Time-Delay Control) are adopted. For the roll motion control, LQR, LQ SOF (Static Output Feedback) control, PID, and SMC are adopted. To compare the performance of each controller, simulation is performed on a vehicle simulation package, CarSim$^{(R)}$. From simulation, TDC and LQ SOF are the best for yaw and roll motion control, respectively.

This paper describes a rollover index (RI)-based rollover mitigation control (RMC) system. A rollover index which indicates an impending rollover has been developed by a roll dynamics phase plane analysis. The rollover index is calculated using the roll angle, the roll rate, the lateral acceleration and time to wheel lift (TTWL). A differential braking control law based on a 2-D bicycle model has been designed using the direct yaw control (DYC) method. An RMC threshold has been determined from the rollover index. The performance of the RMC scheme and the effectiveness of the proposed rollover index are illustrated using a vehicle simulator.

In a previous study, an investigation of occupant behaviors and injuries (to the head and chest) was performed during vehicle impact loading cases in order to ensure the safety of wheelchair passengers on a bus. The computational results showed overall safety tolerances of wheelchair occupants under different accident configurations. The bus crashworthiness is described as the capability of a bus to protect occupants during rollover loadings. The residual space containing occupants should be undamaged without any intrusions. However it is necessary to evaluate the residual space according to the bus occupant kinematic analysis under the rollover crash simulation. This study focuses on the evaluation of occupant behaviors during rollover loading cases in order to ensure the safety of bus passengers sitting in general seats and wheelchairs and evaluates the residual space of the bus by analyzing the bus occupant kinematics.

본 논문에서는 차량 전복 방지를 위해 강인 제어기를 설계하고 적용하는 방법에 대해 제시한다. 운행 중인 차량은 속도나 무게중심과 같은 파라미터 변화가 쉽게 발생하는데, 차량 전복 방지 제어기가 파라미터 변화에 대해 강인하게 설계된다면 차량 전복 방지 성능을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 이산시간영역에서 LMI 를 이용하여 $H_2$ 및 $H_{\infty}$ 강인제어기를 설계하고, 실험에 대한 신뢰도가 높은 차량 시뮬레이션 패키지인 CarSim 에서 차량 전복 방지를 위한 제어기의 성능을 검증한다.

The safety problems of buses have been arisen due to the increasing of road traffic. Occupant injuries are always possible in the rollover accident and the frontal impact. Thus the structure of bus should have sufficient strength to protect passengers under accidental loads. ECE(Economic Commission for Europe) regulation No.66 prescribes that the superstructure of the vehicle shall be sufficient strength for passengers' surviving and the residual space shall be preserved in the passenger compartment during and after the standard rollover accident situation. Rollover test and simulation on a large-sized bus was completed according to the regulation. The coordinates of the points on the bus were measured by photogrammetry system. The rollover situation was revived by structural crashes simulation software, PAM-CRASH, and it was checked that the structure still complied with the requirements of residual space during rollover situation. The residual space was preserved during rollover, so it was proved that the structure of the investigated bus had much probability of survival in rollover accidents.

The high potential for injury involved in rollover accidents warrants the development of a system to protect passengers against such events. To effectively implement such a protection system, it is first necessary to determine rollover criteria (i.e., real time states which indicate the occurrence of rollover events). In this paper, several rollover criteria have been developed based on simplified physical models. Such accidents are first classified into two types, untripped and tripped, according to the main cause that initiates the rollover. Characteristics of these rollover situations are identified by applying appropriate principles of dynamics to corresponding simplified physical models. Two main rollover criteria, Rotational Kinetic Energy (RKE) and Initial Kinetic Energy (IKE), are then introduced based on these characteristics. ADAMS/View simulations have been performed to verify the feasibility of the introduced rollover criteria. ADAMS/Car simulations have also been conducted to get more realistic rollover data with a complete vehicle model. Results of these experiments reveal that our established criteria prove useful for predicting whether actual rollover occurs or not.

최근 자동차 교통량의 증가로 인해 차량 전복사고가 급증하여 이에 따른 인명피해가 증가해왔으며, 이를 방지하기 위한 차량충돌 실험장비 및 해석프로그램 개발 등의 다양한 기술이 진보되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 적용한 차량모델은 미국 FORD사의 EXPLORER 차종이고, Rollover 해석은 차량충돌해석에 상용되고 있는 PC-Crash 프로그램을 이용하여 SUV의 전복사고 거동 및 충돌속도를 예측하였다. 그 해석결과로 FMVSS No. 208 법규를 통한 SUV차량의 실제 Rollover 거동과 비교할 때 유사한 결과를 보여주었으며, 충돌속도 및 롤각의 특성은 1000 msec 이후부터는 다소 오차율이 커지는 경향을 나타냈다. 그리고 NHTSA의 데이터베이스를 활용하여 고찰한 결과로 충돌속도 15~77 km/h, 충돌각도 $22{\sim}74^{\circ}$ 범위에서 전복사고가 가장 많이 발생함을 나타냈고, 실제 사고사례를 적용함으로써 차량 출발 위치, Roof 파손위치, 정지위치를 재현시켜 차량 Roof가 파손될 때 차량속도 및 충돌시간을 예측할 수 있었다.

In South Korea, to evaluate the rollover safety of domestic vehicles, the maximum slope angle of the vehicle is specified, which is verified by the rollover safety test of driving vehicles. However, the domestic rollover safety test is not suitable for buses, because the small amount of static stability factor (SSF) will invalidate the rollover experimental equation due to the high center of mass position of buses. To solve the above problems, a dynamic model of the bus is prepared with assumptions of mass and suspension spring properties. Subsequently, the maximum slope angle of the model was computed by using the simulation of multi-body dynamics, and the result was compared with actual test results to validate the dynamics model. Also, the rollover Fishhook (roll stability) test was conducted in the simulation for driving model. During the simulation, roll angle and roll rate were calculated to check if a rollover occurred. Through the rollover simulation of buses, the domestically regulated formula for rollover safety and the procedure of rollover test for driving vehicles are evaluated. The conclusion is that the present regulation of rollover test should be reconsidered for buses to ensure to get the valid results for rollover safety.

This paper describes an integrated chassis control for a maneuverability, a lateral stability and a rollover prevention of a vehicle by the using of the ESC and AFS. The integrated chassis control system consists of a supervisor, control algorithms and a coordinator. From the measured and estimation signals, the supervisor determines the vehicle driving situation about the lateral stability and rollover prevention. The control algorithms determine a desired yaw moment for lateral stability and a desired longitudinal force for the rollover prevention. In order to apply the control inputs, the coordinator determines a brake and active front steering inputs optimally based on the current status of the subject vehicle. To improve the reliability and to reduce the operating load of the proposed control algorithms, a multi-core ECU platform is used in this system. For the evaluation of this system, a closed loop simulations with driver-vehicle-controller system were conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed control strategy.
