Abstract
For optimal integration of the vehicle stability control system that improves vehicle yaw stability for limit driving condition, driver intervention in vehicle stability seems necessary. In this paper, a novel design approach is proposed for deriving optimal solutions to vehicle stability control problems in the presence of the driver-in-the-loop steering model. The design concept is inspired by a Nash strategy for exactly known systems with more than two players. In the presented method, driver, controlling the steering wheel, and vehicle stability control unit, applying compensated yaw moment, are defined as two dynamic players in a 2-player differential LQ game, and as a result, a novel control algorithm is developed. The results from a numerical simulation of a single lane change maneuver show the effectiveness of this controller over the common LQR control approach.
