Robust Stability Analysis of a Fuzzy Vehicle Lateral Control System Using Describing Function Method
Chapter
Abstract
In this paper, the robust stability analysis of a fuzzy vehicle lateral system with perturbed parameters is presented. Firstly, the fuzzy controller can be linearized by utilizing the describing function method with experiments. After the describing function is obtained, the stability analysis of the vehicle lateral control system with the variations of velocity and friction is then carried out by the use of parameter plane method. Afterward some limit cycle loci caused by the fuzzy controller can be easily pointed out in the parameter plane. Computer simulation shows the efficiency of this approach.
