Abstract
This paper presents the design and validation of a differential braking controller for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) using driver-in-the-loop real-time simulations. The yaw moment generated through the differential braking control system is applied to improve the lateral stability of SUVs. A linear vehicle model is generated to construct the controller. To validate the controller design, driver-in-the-loop real-time simulations are conducted on the UOIT vehicle simulator. Two test scenarios are simulated to validate the controller design on the vehicle simulator. The driver-in-the-loop real-time simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed differential braking controller in the lateral stability and maneuverability improvement of the SUV.
