Path Control in Limits of Vehicle Handling: A Sensitivity Analysis

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering book series (LNME)

Abstract

Sensitivity analysis of a feedback-feedforward steering controller for lateral path tracking whilst the vehicle operates in limit handling is the main objective of this paper. The sensitivity analysis is executed by simulation and the effectiveness of the controller is evaluated in a test vehicle on a low friction skid pad. The results demonstrate that the controller is capable to achieve robust path tracking in limit handling condition for the variety of driving conditions with sufficient stability.
