Actuator Comparison and Coordination for Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control

Abstract

The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to compare and coordinate active chassis systems in a search for new ways of controlling two driving situations; side wind exposure and split friction braking. These situations were to be mastered by three active systems; active steering, brakes and suspension. Examples of how to use the systems were presented for each driving situation. The results from the investigation were then used when designing controllers for the applications. Matlab/Simulink was the key tool for evaluation of the control strategies but tests were also carried out in a real vehicle
