Yaw Rate

Conventional vehicle electronic stability control requires one steering-wheel angle sensor, one lateral acceleration sensor and one yaw rate sensor to obtain a good control performance. The control system stops working when a sensor fault is detected, which means that the vehicle runs in an unprotected state. Thus, various sensor fault diagnosis algorithms have been designed to detect and isolate the faulty sensor, but these algorithms also can be used for fault-tolerant control to preserve the safety of the vehicle. However, determining which of the different sensors is faulty is very difficult as the conventional residual comparison algorithm can only find the existence of a sensor fault but cannot locate the faulty sensor, and very few research studies have focused on this problem. In this paper, an ingenious sensor fault diagnosis algorithm is proposed. The sensor fault is detected, located and isolated by cross-checking with three different yaw rate estimates. The steering-wheel angle observer and the lateral acceleration observer are designed to provide corresponding estimated sensor signals which are employed to estimate the different yaw rates by using an extended Kalman filter. A novel decision-making process is carefully designed to locate the faulty sensor based on the different yaw rate residuals. Electronic stability control is not interrupted as the faulty sensor signal is reconfigured by the estimated signal. Experimental tests on a real car show that the proposed algorithm is efficient for detecting the sensor fault and identifying which sensor is faulty. Simulations show that the vehicle stability control strategy based on the proposed sensor fault-tolerant control algorithm has a better performance than the traditional control strategy does.

An integrated fault tolerant controller is proposed for vehicle chassis system. Based on the coupled characteristics of vertical and lateral system, the fault tolerant controller mainly concentrates on the cooperative control of controllable suspension and lateral system with external disturbances and actuator faults. A nine-DOF coupled model is developed for fault reconstruction and accurate control. Firstly, a fault reconstruction mechanism based on sliding mode is introduced; when the sliding mode achieves, actuator fault signals can be observed exactly through selecting appropriate gain matrix and equivalent output injection term. Secondly, an active suspension controller, a roll moment controller and a stability controller is developed respectively; the integrated control strategy is applied to the system under different driving conditions: when the car is traveling straightly, the main purpose of the integrated strategy is to improve the vertical performance; the lateral controller including roll moment control and stability control will be triggered when there is a steering angle input. Simulations experiments verify the performance enhancement and stability of the proposed controller under three different driving conditions.

Yaw Stability

This paper presents an integrated fault-tolerant adaptive control allocation strategy for four wheel frive - four wheel steering ground vehicles to increase yaw stability. Conventionally, control of brakes, motors and steering angles are handled separately. In this study, these actuators are controlled simultaneously using an adaptive control allocation strategy. The overall structure consists of two steps: At the first level, virtual control input consisting of the desired traction force, the desired moment correction and the required lateral force correction to maintain driver’s intention are calculated based on the driver’s steering and throttle input and vehicle’s side slip angle. Then, the allocation module determines the traction forces at each wheel, front steering angle correction and rear steering wheel angle, based on the virtual control input. Proposed strategy is validated using a non-linear three degree of freedom reduced two-track vehicle model and results demonstrate that the vehicle can successfully follow the reference motion while protecting yaw stability, even in the cases of device failure and changed road conditions.
