Abstract EN
A novel control scheme is proposed to improve the yaw stability of a tractor semitrailer vehicle in critical situations.
The control scheme is a two-layer structure consisting of an upper yaw moment controller and a lower brake force distributor.
The tractor and the trailer are, respectively, stabilized by two independent fuzzy logic based yaw moment controllers.
The controllers for the tractor and the trailer are, respectively, designed to track the reference yaw rate of the tractor and the hitch angle between the tractor and the trailer while considering the variation of the hitch angular rate at the same time.
The corrective yaw moments determined by the corresponding upper fuzzy yaw moment controllers are realized by active wheel braking.
The performance of the proposed control scheme is evaluated by simulations on a nonlinear vehicle model.
The results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme is robust and effective in stabilizing the severe instabilities such as jackknife and trailer oscillation in the chosen simulation scenarios.
It is believed that this control scheme is robust to the variation of road adhesion conditions.
