Abstract

Four-wheel-steering (4WS) system can enhance vehicle cornering ability by steering the rear wheels in accordance with the front wheels steering and vehicle status. In this paper, a fractional control approach for 4WS vehicle with it’s some design specifications are presented. The simulation results show this approach can improve the stability of vehicle when front wheels are steered too fast in some emergencies. To enhance the robustness of vehicle system, a yaw rate tracking fractional control strategy is also proposed to deal with the uncertainty of actual vehicle.
