Description
Summary:This study’s aim was to enhance the maneuverability safety in the coordination of active rear steering and differential braking control for untripped rollover prevention, which performs a panic lane change maneuver to bypass the obstacle encountered in the path. In avoiding rollover accidents, there are several guidance preventions, such as to secure the vehicle from the intention of the driver and to position the vehicle in the actual lane. A crosswind effect is also found to be a crucial factor since this may cause other accidents. Therefore, there is a need to monitor the driver’s actual path and maintaining the stability of the vehicle along the desired path in order to avoid rollover accidents. We extended the analysis of Yakub and Mori (2015) [1], by suggesting an explicit model of predictive control, which includes an active rear steering and braking control for each wheel. Our main focus was on the general trade-off between rollover prevention and path tracking. The effectiveness of the explicit control model invented for this study was measured and validated by the simulation results for a heavy vehicle proposed in this research.
