Yaw Rate Control of Active Front Steering Based on Fuzzy-logic Controller

In this paper, we propose a yaw moment control based on fuzzy-logic controller to enhance the vehicle stability. A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear model of the considered vehicle is briefly presented. The feedback of the yaw rate and sideslip angle are regarded as inputs of the controller. The developed controller generates the suitable steering angle so that the vehicle follows the target values of the yaw rate. A simulation is performed at different conditions. The simulation results show that the yaw rate of controlled vehicle follow the target value of the desired yaw rate, degrading the values of the sideslip angle, when the vehicle is subject to different cornering maneuvers such as change line and step signal.
