A Novel Integrated Chassis Controller Design Combining Active Suspension and 4WS 2005-01-3566
In this paper, we proposed a novel integrated vehicle chassis control configuration, which is based on the combination of vehicle vertical and lateral motion controls. Focusing on the improvement of vehicle handling and riding performance, particularly the active safety under critical driving condition, the purpose of Active Suspension (AS) in the integrated system is to achieve ride comfort quality and to provide more tyre cornering ability near the cornering force saturation regions, while the effect of Four Wheel Steering (4WS) is expected to eliminate the body side slip angle and to achieve an ideal yaw rate model following.
