Abstract

This paper presents the design and validation of a differential braking (DB) controller for Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) using driver-in-the-loop real-time simulations. According to the driver’s logic, the desired vehicle states will be decided, while actual vehicle states deviate desired values, the control system is applied to improve the lateral stability of SUVs. To derive the controller design, driver-in-the-loop real-time simulations are conducted on the UOIT (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) vehicle simulator,the Fishhook maneuver and Double Lane Change test scenarios are simulated to examine the performance of the controller. The driver-in-the-loop real-time simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed differential braking controller in the lateral rollover stability and maneuverability improvement of the SUV.
