Vehicle Active Rear Wheel Steering Control Based on a Variable Transmission Ratio Control Strategy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to obtain the ideal steering performance, an active rear wheel steering (ARS) controller, based on the variable transmission ratio control strategy, is developed in this paper. ARS controller using sliding mode technique is designed to follow the desired yaw rate which is calculated by the ideal variable transmission ratio. Simulation result shows that, the proposed control strategy both obtains desired steering performance and provides the obvious benefits for the human driver.
