1 Introduction

Vehicle stability control which relies on the antilock brakingsystem (ABS) and traction control system (TCS) of a vehicleplays a significant role in preventing single-vehicle accidentscaused by vehicle instability [1] e mechanical structuredynamic characteristics response characteristics and ac-tuator complexity of a dual-motor drive electric vehiclediffer significantly from those of a single-drive vehicleerefore dual-motor drive electric vehicles also require anefficient and stable stability control system

Depending on the system structure two types of vehiclestability system controllers are used centralized and hier-archical Compared with the centralized controller the hi-erarchical controller system has superior extendibility andfault tolerance and allows more convenient system main-tenance and debugging [2 3] Furthermore the much higher

level of integration of the vehicle electrification chassismakes it possible to realize coordination control with othersystems such as the X-wire control system and active safetysystems eg electric control braking (ECB) electric brakeforce distribution (EBD) and active front steering (AFS)

Based on the current state of the vehicle and the driverrsquosintention the upper layer of the hierarchical vehicle stabilitycontroller makes decision regarding the additional yawmoment to restore the stable state of the vehicle Zhang andWang proposed a vehicle stability control system usinggeneralized proportion integration (PI) control [4] Wanget al developed a stability control strategy based on anintegral separation PID controller to eliminate integral ac-cumulation of the control system [5] Zhao et al designed avehicle stability control system based on a T-S fuzzy model[6 7] Some scholars also adopted robust control to improvethe influence of uncertain factors such as system loss tire

load fluctuation and side wind [8ndash12] However the PIDalgorithm guarantees neither optimal control of the systemnor its control stability e rules of fuzzy control areestablished on the basis of a large number of experimentsand expert experience and need to be adjusted according tothe driving environment which is both high time andeconomic consuming e most notable disadvantage ofslide mode control is chattering which occurs when thesystem approaches the slide mode surface and which canonly be reduced but not eliminated Model predictivecontrol (MPC) can directly consider actuator constraintsand system state constraints during controller design Inaddition MPC can effectively control a multiobjectiveconstrained system in complex engineering systems andhas strong portability [13] Jalali et al proposed a vehiclestability controller using MPC [14ndash17] And the desiredyaw rate and sideslip angle were obtained through thedriver steering wheel angle

e lower layer of a vehicle stability controller selectsthe appropriate actuator and reallocates the additional yawmoment based on certain rules At present the mostcommonly used method relies on two allocation strategiesrule-based and optimization theory-based [18] e in-creasing actuators and growing complexity of the electroniccontrol systems of vehicles have resulted in the allocationrules becoming more complex hence the allocation ac-curacy cannot be guaranteed to the same extent as beforeerefore the optimization theory-based allocation strat-egy is more suitable

e allocation strategy based on optimization theoryusually takes the slip rate of the tire the minimum of thesum of the working load of the tire and the minimum ofthe sum of the longitudinal force of the tire as the opti-mization objectives At the same time the optimizationstrategy considering the actuator failure and energyeconomy are gradually put forward Yin proposed theadditional yaw moment and traction force distributionstrategy for the purpose of minimizing the tire load [19]Zhai et al proposed an average torque distribution strategytire-dynamic-load-based torque distribution strategy andminimum-objective-function-based optimal torque dis-tribution strategy to control the motor driving torque orregenerative braking torque for vehicle stability enhance-ment [20] Park et al proposed a torque distributionstrategy that considers the driving economics driverrsquosacceleration demand and tire slip and used fuzzy logic toselect a suitable distribution strategy [21] Kim and Kimchose the regenerative braking and an electrohydraulicbrake as the actuators in the vehicle stability controllerAiming to minimize EHB energy consumption the brakingforce distribution ratio of the front and rear axles wereoptimized [22]

According to the above studies the hierarchical vehiclestability controller obtains the desired driving state by usingthe driver steering wheel angle However in-depth researchshowed that the use of only the steering wheel angle isinadequate to express the driver intention and obtain thedesired driving state vehicle stability controller

e driver turning intention is initiated based on ex-perience depending on the condition of the road envi-ronment and vehicle state en the driver manipulates thevehicle actuator such that the vehicle responds consistentlywith their intentionerefore the driverrsquos turning intentionreflects their subjective demand for the vehicle state Whendrivers take sharp turning operation such as go throughcontinuous S-turn hairpin bend and the other roads with asmaller radius curvature as well as emergency obstacleavoidance or sudden overtaking the driver would be con-sidered to intend rapidly maneuvering the vehicle undercurrent road conditions which also means the driver hascertain expectations in terms of the vehicle yaw rate andsideslip However for some drivers because of constraintssuch as their driving experience the driving environmenttheoretical knowledge and other factors this expectationignores correct judgment of the lateral motion stability of thevehicle During the process of vehicle stability control if it isa significant difference between the actual and expected stateof the vehicle the driver would proceed with the turningoperation and the vehicle stability would deteriorate andeven cause the driver to distrust the system

erefore accurate interpretation and prediction of thedriving intention during the process of vehicle stabilitycontrol and ensuring the actual vehicle state is maintained asclosely as possible to the expected vehicle state would greatlyimprove the stability and driving safety of the vehicle Driverintention can be obtained using fuzzy reasoning supportvector machine (SVM) artificial neural network (ANN) andhidden Markov model (HMM) [23ndash27] Fuzzy reasoningSVM and ANN are used to recognize the intentions ofdriver at a certain moment However neural network andfuzzy logic are difficult to deal with temporal-ordered in-formation us they are mainly used for static recognitionproblems HMM as a kind of dynamic information pro-cessing method based on time-series cumulative probabilityconsiders only the state sequence with the maximum log-likelihood and ignores the possibility of small probabilityevents erefore it is difficult to recognize easily confusedintentions using HMM

All the above analysis motivated us to develop a methodto detect the driverrsquos turning intention establish a steeringurgency coefficient for sharp turning and propose a vehiclestability control reference model considering the driverrsquosturning intention Based on the abovementioned results weproposed a stability control strategy for a dual-motor driveelectric vehicle As a result of this research the desiredcontrol target of stability control is no longer only based onthe steering wheel angle and the vehicle state in accordancewith the driving intention is under control to a certainextent is paper is organized as follows e method toidentify the driverrsquos turning intention is presented in Section 1A modified reference model for vehicle stability consideringthe driverrsquos turning intention is presented in Section 2Construction of the vehicle stability control strategy basedon the modified reference model is discussed in Section 3Section 4 compares the vehicle stability control strategybased on the modified reference model constructed in this

2 Driverrsquos Turning Intention RecognitionHybrid Model of GHMM and GGAP-RBFNeural Network

e turning operation is a complex event that continues fora certain period of time e observation sequence of theturning process is a set of temporal data e Gaussianhidden Markov model (GHMM) displays a strong mod-eling ability for dynamic time sequences However themodel does not take into account overlaps between dif-ferent classes and this is a severe limitation In contrastgeneralized growing and pruning RBF (GGAP-RBF) anengineering model can simulate the thinking mechanismof the human brain has strong classification and decision-making abilities and can describe uncertain informationus it compensates for the inadequacies of HMM Inaddition the model allows insignificant neurons to beremoved in each iterative training cycle to effectivelycontrol the growth of the neural network and simplify thestructure of a network with large data capacity Howeverthe ability of GGAP-RBF to describe dynamic sequentialprocesses is not especially strong [28ndash30] is led us toconstruct a hybrid model in the form of a GHMMGGAP-RBF neural network Given the advantages of sequentialmodel building and its nonlinear mapping ability thehybrid model can obtain newly identified informationthereby considerably increasing the accuracy of the clas-sification of classes with slight differences [27] At the sametime to improve the real-time performance this work usesthe initial stage of the turning operation to identify thedriverrsquos turning intention

e structure of the driver turning intention recognitionsystem based on the GHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model isshown in Figure 1 e hybrid model includes a lower layer(the GHMM model) and an upper layer (the GGAP-RBFmodel) e lower layer of the model includes the sharpturning GHMM and the normal turning GHMM e ve-hicle speed the steering wheel angle the steering wheel anglevelocity and the steering wheel torque are the inputs of thelower layer e log-likelihood of the sharp turning GHMMand the normal turning GHMM are the outputs of the lowerlayer Based on the data of the turning initial stage thenormal turning and sharp turning GHMMs are designedand trained using the BaumndashWelch algorithm to calculatethe most likely sequence of states In addition a forwardalgorithm is used to calculate the log-likelihood of theGHMMs

In the upper layer the log-likelihood of the GHMM thevehicle yaw rate and the lateral acceleration form a vectorδ1T(1) δ1T(2) δ1T(N)1113966 1113967 e nonlinear combination ofthis vector is regarded as the input of the GGAP-RBF neuralnetwork and the nonlinear mapping ability of neural net-work-based methods is used to recognize the driver actualturning intention

21 Establishment of the GHMM e feature parameters ofthe GHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model have a considerableeffect on the accuracy of the recognition of the driverrsquosturning intentione reliefF algorithm is used to collect theappropriate parameters is study employs the steeringwheel angle steering wheel angle velocity and steeringwheel torque as feature parameters to recognize the driverrsquossteering intention Based on the initial stage of the turningoperation sharp turning and normal turning GHMMs areestablished separately e observation sequence of theGHMM can be described as a multidimensional vector [31]

3 Reference Model of Vehicle Stability ControlSystem considering the Driverrsquos Intention

is paper proposes a reference model for vehicle stabilitycontrol e model which takes the driverrsquos turning in-tention into consideration is shown in Figure 2 First theGHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model is used to recognize thedriverrsquos turning intention on the basis of data relating to thesteering wheel operation angle angular velocity andsteering wheel torque When at the initial stage of theturning operation the driverrsquos intention is identified assharp turning the vehicle is made to respond quickly to thedesired yaw rate for the current steering wheel angle (iethe yaw rate can follow the driverrsquos steering wheel oper-ation successfully) by correcting the reference yaw rate withthe aid of the established steering urgency coefficientWhen the steering operation enters the turning keepingstage and the turning reversal stage vehicle stability isensured by no longer modifying the reference yaw rate e

reference model is not modified when normal turning isintended

31 ReferenceModel Based on 2-DOFLinear Vehicle DynamicModel e most commonly used vehicle stability controlreference model is the 2-DOF linear vehicle dynamic modelwhich only considers the lateral motion and yaw motion ofthe vehicle [36] e state equations are as follows

When the vehicle is driving on a road with a low ad-hesion coefficient eg when the road surface is wet orcovered by snow or sand the adhesion force allowed by theadhesion conditions between the road surface and tiresdecreases and cannot produce the high yaw rate required bythe vehicle erefore when the 2-DOF linear vehicle dy-namicmodel is adopted as the ideal model it must be limitedby the conditions under which the tires adhere to the road

e upper layer controller includes the vehicle stateestimator model the driver turning intention recognitionmodel the modified stability control reference model andthe additional yaw moment decision model is controllerchooses the angle angular velocity and torque of thesteering wheel as inputs to recognize the driverrsquos turningintentione reference yaw rate and reference sideslip angleunder steady-state steering are determined by using the 2-DOF linear vehicle dynamics model and by simultaneouslyconsidering the adhesion conditions According to theturning intention the reference model is modified as thefinal stability control target en based on the differencebetween the actual and the reference yaw rate and sideslipangle using the additional yaw moment decision model theadditional yaw moment that needs to be applied to restorethe vehicle to the stable state is determined and used as inputfor the lower controller

e lower layer controllermdashthe additional yaw momentdistribution layermdashincludes the longitudinal force distri-bution model and the actuator model e generation ofadditional yaw moment requires the longitudinal force ofthe tire to be controlled and this should take into consid-eration the vehicle drive form performance of themotor andhydraulic brake system and the road conditions e op-timization algorithm allocates additional yaw moment to getadditional torque of the motor and hydraulic braking systemwhich will eventually improve the stability of the vehicle

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

load fluctuation and side wind [8ndash12] However the PIDalgorithm guarantees neither optimal control of the systemnor its control stability e rules of fuzzy control areestablished on the basis of a large number of experimentsand expert experience and need to be adjusted according tothe driving environment which is both high time andeconomic consuming e most notable disadvantage ofslide mode control is chattering which occurs when thesystem approaches the slide mode surface and which canonly be reduced but not eliminated Model predictivecontrol (MPC) can directly consider actuator constraintsand system state constraints during controller design Inaddition MPC can effectively control a multiobjectiveconstrained system in complex engineering systems andhas strong portability [13] Jalali et al proposed a vehiclestability controller using MPC [14ndash17] And the desiredyaw rate and sideslip angle were obtained through thedriver steering wheel angle

e lower layer of a vehicle stability controller selectsthe appropriate actuator and reallocates the additional yawmoment based on certain rules At present the mostcommonly used method relies on two allocation strategiesrule-based and optimization theory-based [18] e in-creasing actuators and growing complexity of the electroniccontrol systems of vehicles have resulted in the allocationrules becoming more complex hence the allocation ac-curacy cannot be guaranteed to the same extent as beforeerefore the optimization theory-based allocation strat-egy is more suitable

e allocation strategy based on optimization theoryusually takes the slip rate of the tire the minimum of thesum of the working load of the tire and the minimum ofthe sum of the longitudinal force of the tire as the opti-mization objectives At the same time the optimizationstrategy considering the actuator failure and energyeconomy are gradually put forward Yin proposed theadditional yaw moment and traction force distributionstrategy for the purpose of minimizing the tire load [19]Zhai et al proposed an average torque distribution strategytire-dynamic-load-based torque distribution strategy andminimum-objective-function-based optimal torque dis-tribution strategy to control the motor driving torque orregenerative braking torque for vehicle stability enhance-ment [20] Park et al proposed a torque distributionstrategy that considers the driving economics driverrsquosacceleration demand and tire slip and used fuzzy logic toselect a suitable distribution strategy [21] Kim and Kimchose the regenerative braking and an electrohydraulicbrake as the actuators in the vehicle stability controllerAiming to minimize EHB energy consumption the brakingforce distribution ratio of the front and rear axles wereoptimized [22]

According to the above studies the hierarchical vehiclestability controller obtains the desired driving state by usingthe driver steering wheel angle However in-depth researchshowed that the use of only the steering wheel angle isinadequate to express the driver intention and obtain thedesired driving state vehicle stability controller

e driver turning intention is initiated based on ex-perience depending on the condition of the road envi-ronment and vehicle state en the driver manipulates thevehicle actuator such that the vehicle responds consistentlywith their intentionerefore the driverrsquos turning intentionreflects their subjective demand for the vehicle state Whendrivers take sharp turning operation such as go throughcontinuous S-turn hairpin bend and the other roads with asmaller radius curvature as well as emergency obstacleavoidance or sudden overtaking the driver would be con-sidered to intend rapidly maneuvering the vehicle undercurrent road conditions which also means the driver hascertain expectations in terms of the vehicle yaw rate andsideslip However for some drivers because of constraintssuch as their driving experience the driving environmenttheoretical knowledge and other factors this expectationignores correct judgment of the lateral motion stability of thevehicle During the process of vehicle stability control if it isa significant difference between the actual and expected stateof the vehicle the driver would proceed with the turningoperation and the vehicle stability would deteriorate andeven cause the driver to distrust the system

erefore accurate interpretation and prediction of thedriving intention during the process of vehicle stabilitycontrol and ensuring the actual vehicle state is maintained asclosely as possible to the expected vehicle state would greatlyimprove the stability and driving safety of the vehicle Driverintention can be obtained using fuzzy reasoning supportvector machine (SVM) artificial neural network (ANN) andhidden Markov model (HMM) [23ndash27] Fuzzy reasoningSVM and ANN are used to recognize the intentions ofdriver at a certain moment However neural network andfuzzy logic are difficult to deal with temporal-ordered in-formation us they are mainly used for static recognitionproblems HMM as a kind of dynamic information pro-cessing method based on time-series cumulative probabilityconsiders only the state sequence with the maximum log-likelihood and ignores the possibility of small probabilityevents erefore it is difficult to recognize easily confusedintentions using HMM

All the above analysis motivated us to develop a methodto detect the driverrsquos turning intention establish a steeringurgency coefficient for sharp turning and propose a vehiclestability control reference model considering the driverrsquosturning intention Based on the abovementioned results weproposed a stability control strategy for a dual-motor driveelectric vehicle As a result of this research the desiredcontrol target of stability control is no longer only based onthe steering wheel angle and the vehicle state in accordancewith the driving intention is under control to a certainextent is paper is organized as follows e method toidentify the driverrsquos turning intention is presented in Section 1A modified reference model for vehicle stability consideringthe driverrsquos turning intention is presented in Section 2Construction of the vehicle stability control strategy basedon the modified reference model is discussed in Section 3Section 4 compares the vehicle stability control strategybased on the modified reference model constructed in this

2 Driverrsquos Turning Intention RecognitionHybrid Model of GHMM and GGAP-RBFNeural Network

e turning operation is a complex event that continues fora certain period of time e observation sequence of theturning process is a set of temporal data e Gaussianhidden Markov model (GHMM) displays a strong mod-eling ability for dynamic time sequences However themodel does not take into account overlaps between dif-ferent classes and this is a severe limitation In contrastgeneralized growing and pruning RBF (GGAP-RBF) anengineering model can simulate the thinking mechanismof the human brain has strong classification and decision-making abilities and can describe uncertain informationus it compensates for the inadequacies of HMM Inaddition the model allows insignificant neurons to beremoved in each iterative training cycle to effectivelycontrol the growth of the neural network and simplify thestructure of a network with large data capacity Howeverthe ability of GGAP-RBF to describe dynamic sequentialprocesses is not especially strong [28ndash30] is led us toconstruct a hybrid model in the form of a GHMMGGAP-RBF neural network Given the advantages of sequentialmodel building and its nonlinear mapping ability thehybrid model can obtain newly identified informationthereby considerably increasing the accuracy of the clas-sification of classes with slight differences [27] At the sametime to improve the real-time performance this work usesthe initial stage of the turning operation to identify thedriverrsquos turning intention

e structure of the driver turning intention recognitionsystem based on the GHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model isshown in Figure 1 e hybrid model includes a lower layer(the GHMM model) and an upper layer (the GGAP-RBFmodel) e lower layer of the model includes the sharpturning GHMM and the normal turning GHMM e ve-hicle speed the steering wheel angle the steering wheel anglevelocity and the steering wheel torque are the inputs of thelower layer e log-likelihood of the sharp turning GHMMand the normal turning GHMM are the outputs of the lowerlayer Based on the data of the turning initial stage thenormal turning and sharp turning GHMMs are designedand trained using the BaumndashWelch algorithm to calculatethe most likely sequence of states In addition a forwardalgorithm is used to calculate the log-likelihood of theGHMMs

In the upper layer the log-likelihood of the GHMM thevehicle yaw rate and the lateral acceleration form a vectorδ1T(1) δ1T(2) δ1T(N)1113966 1113967 e nonlinear combination ofthis vector is regarded as the input of the GGAP-RBF neuralnetwork and the nonlinear mapping ability of neural net-work-based methods is used to recognize the driver actualturning intention

21 Establishment of the GHMM e feature parameters ofthe GHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model have a considerableeffect on the accuracy of the recognition of the driverrsquosturning intentione reliefF algorithm is used to collect theappropriate parameters is study employs the steeringwheel angle steering wheel angle velocity and steeringwheel torque as feature parameters to recognize the driverrsquossteering intention Based on the initial stage of the turningoperation sharp turning and normal turning GHMMs areestablished separately e observation sequence of theGHMM can be described as a multidimensional vector [31]

where a(t) is the steering wheel angle b(t) is the steeringwheel torque and c(t) is the steering wheel angular velocity

e BaumndashWelch algorithm is used to optimize the threeparameters of the GHMM which are described asλ (π A B) where π is the initial state distribution A is thestate transition probability matrix and B is a probabilitydensity function

3 Reference Model of Vehicle Stability ControlSystem considering the Driverrsquos Intention

is paper proposes a reference model for vehicle stabilitycontrol e model which takes the driverrsquos turning in-tention into consideration is shown in Figure 2 First theGHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model is used to recognize thedriverrsquos turning intention on the basis of data relating to thesteering wheel operation angle angular velocity andsteering wheel torque When at the initial stage of theturning operation the driverrsquos intention is identified assharp turning the vehicle is made to respond quickly to thedesired yaw rate for the current steering wheel angle (iethe yaw rate can follow the driverrsquos steering wheel oper-ation successfully) by correcting the reference yaw rate withthe aid of the established steering urgency coefficientWhen the steering operation enters the turning keepingstage and the turning reversal stage vehicle stability isensured by no longer modifying the reference yaw rate e

reference model is not modified when normal turning isintended

31 ReferenceModel Based on 2-DOFLinear Vehicle DynamicModel e most commonly used vehicle stability controlreference model is the 2-DOF linear vehicle dynamic modelwhich only considers the lateral motion and yaw motion ofthe vehicle [36] e state equations are as follows

When the vehicle is driving on a road with a low ad-hesion coefficient eg when the road surface is wet orcovered by snow or sand the adhesion force allowed by theadhesion conditions between the road surface and tiresdecreases and cannot produce the high yaw rate required bythe vehicle erefore when the 2-DOF linear vehicle dy-namicmodel is adopted as the ideal model it must be limitedby the conditions under which the tires adhere to the road

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

2 Driverrsquos Turning Intention RecognitionHybrid Model of GHMM and GGAP-RBFNeural Network

e turning operation is a complex event that continues fora certain period of time e observation sequence of theturning process is a set of temporal data e Gaussianhidden Markov model (GHMM) displays a strong mod-eling ability for dynamic time sequences However themodel does not take into account overlaps between dif-ferent classes and this is a severe limitation In contrastgeneralized growing and pruning RBF (GGAP-RBF) anengineering model can simulate the thinking mechanismof the human brain has strong classification and decision-making abilities and can describe uncertain informationus it compensates for the inadequacies of HMM Inaddition the model allows insignificant neurons to beremoved in each iterative training cycle to effectivelycontrol the growth of the neural network and simplify thestructure of a network with large data capacity Howeverthe ability of GGAP-RBF to describe dynamic sequentialprocesses is not especially strong [28ndash30] is led us toconstruct a hybrid model in the form of a GHMMGGAP-RBF neural network Given the advantages of sequentialmodel building and its nonlinear mapping ability thehybrid model can obtain newly identified informationthereby considerably increasing the accuracy of the clas-sification of classes with slight differences [27] At the sametime to improve the real-time performance this work usesthe initial stage of the turning operation to identify thedriverrsquos turning intention

reference model is not modified when normal turning isintended

Finally only the first element of the optimized solution isapplied to the system us the additional yaw moment isexpressed by the following equation

M(k) M(k minus 1) + ΔM(k minus 1 | k) (40)

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(1) Adhesion condition constraint when additional yawmoment is distributed it is necessary to ensure thatthe longitudinal and lateral forces of the tire arewithin the tire adhesion ellipse to avoid longitudinaland lateral vehicle slip

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

3 Reference Model of Vehicle Stability ControlSystem considering the Driverrsquos Intention

is paper proposes a reference model for vehicle stabilitycontrol e model which takes the driverrsquos turning in-tention into consideration is shown in Figure 2 First theGHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model is used to recognize thedriverrsquos turning intention on the basis of data relating to thesteering wheel operation angle angular velocity andsteering wheel torque When at the initial stage of theturning operation the driverrsquos intention is identified assharp turning the vehicle is made to respond quickly to thedesired yaw rate for the current steering wheel angle (iethe yaw rate can follow the driverrsquos steering wheel oper-ation successfully) by correcting the reference yaw rate withthe aid of the established steering urgency coefficientWhen the steering operation enters the turning keepingstage and the turning reversal stage vehicle stability isensured by no longer modifying the reference yaw rate e

reference model is not modified when normal turning isintended

When the vehicle is driving on a road with a low ad-hesion coefficient eg when the road surface is wet orcovered by snow or sand the adhesion force allowed by theadhesion conditions between the road surface and tiresdecreases and cannot produce the high yaw rate required bythe vehicle erefore when the 2-DOF linear vehicle dy-namicmodel is adopted as the ideal model it must be limitedby the conditions under which the tires adhere to the road

Finally only the first element of the optimized solution isapplied to the system us the additional yaw moment isexpressed by the following equation

M(k) M(k minus 1) + ΔM(k minus 1 | k) (40)

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(1) Adhesion condition constraint when additional yawmoment is distributed it is necessary to ensure thatthe longitudinal and lateral forces of the tire arewithin the tire adhesion ellipse to avoid longitudinaland lateral vehicle slip

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

3 Reference Model of Vehicle Stability ControlSystem considering the Driverrsquos Intention

is paper proposes a reference model for vehicle stabilitycontrol e model which takes the driverrsquos turning in-tention into consideration is shown in Figure 2 First theGHMMGGAP-RBF hybrid model is used to recognize thedriverrsquos turning intention on the basis of data relating to thesteering wheel operation angle angular velocity andsteering wheel torque When at the initial stage of theturning operation the driverrsquos intention is identified assharp turning the vehicle is made to respond quickly to thedesired yaw rate for the current steering wheel angle (iethe yaw rate can follow the driverrsquos steering wheel oper-ation successfully) by correcting the reference yaw rate withthe aid of the established steering urgency coefficientWhen the steering operation enters the turning keepingstage and the turning reversal stage vehicle stability isensured by no longer modifying the reference yaw rate e

reference model is not modified when normal turning isintended

When the vehicle is driving on a road with a low ad-hesion coefficient eg when the road surface is wet orcovered by snow or sand the adhesion force allowed by theadhesion conditions between the road surface and tiresdecreases and cannot produce the high yaw rate required bythe vehicle erefore when the 2-DOF linear vehicle dy-namicmodel is adopted as the ideal model it must be limitedby the conditions under which the tires adhere to the road

Finally only the first element of the optimized solution isapplied to the system us the additional yaw moment isexpressed by the following equation

M(k) M(k minus 1) + ΔM(k minus 1 | k) (40)

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(1) Adhesion condition constraint when additional yawmoment is distributed it is necessary to ensure thatthe longitudinal and lateral forces of the tire arewithin the tire adhesion ellipse to avoid longitudinaland lateral vehicle slip

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

At the same time control signal failure power converterfailure insulation failure and other types of failures of themotor may occur due to the design defects the serviceenvironment and service life of the motor us the driving

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

522 Single-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted by performing a single-lane change e targetdriving path is shown in Figure 15 e adhesion coefficientof the test road was 04 First the driver was required to keepthe vehicle parallel with the road and keep the steering wheelfacing forward Subsequently the driver controlled the

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

522 Single-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted by performing a single-lane change e targetdriving path is shown in Figure 15 e adhesion coefficientof the test road was 04 First the driver was required to keepthe vehicle parallel with the road and keep the steering wheelfacing forward Subsequently the driver controlled the

vehicle to rapidly proceed ahead such that the vehicle speedbefore entering the target path reached 40 kmh duringwhich time the steering wheel was not to be operated edriver was then allowed to drive freely by following the conetrack

4 Vehicle Stability Control Strategy

e proposed stability controller for dual-motor driveelectric vehicle adopts a hierarchical structure which in-cludes the upper layer controllermdashwith a decision layer forthe additional yaw momentmdashand the lower layer con-trollermdashwith a distribution layer for the additional yawmoment e structure of this system is shown in Figure 5

e upper layer controller includes the vehicle stateestimator model the driver turning intention recognitionmodel the modified stability control reference model andthe additional yaw moment decision model is controllerchooses the angle angular velocity and torque of thesteering wheel as inputs to recognize the driverrsquos turningintentione reference yaw rate and reference sideslip angleunder steady-state steering are determined by using the 2-DOF linear vehicle dynamics model and by simultaneouslyconsidering the adhesion conditions According to theturning intention the reference model is modified as thefinal stability control target en based on the differencebetween the actual and the reference yaw rate and sideslipangle using the additional yaw moment decision model theadditional yaw moment that needs to be applied to restorethe vehicle to the stable state is determined and used as inputfor the lower controller

e lower layer controllermdashthe additional yaw momentdistribution layermdashincludes the longitudinal force distri-bution model and the actuator model e generation ofadditional yaw moment requires the longitudinal force ofthe tire to be controlled and this should take into consid-eration the vehicle drive form performance of themotor andhydraulic brake system and the road conditions e op-timization algorithm allocates additional yaw moment to getadditional torque of the motor and hydraulic braking systemwhich will eventually improve the stability of the vehicle

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

At the same time control signal failure power converterfailure insulation failure and other types of failures of themotor may occur due to the design defects the serviceenvironment and service life of the motor us the driving

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

522 Single-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted by performing a single-lane change e targetdriving path is shown in Figure 15 e adhesion coefficientof the test road was 04 First the driver was required to keepthe vehicle parallel with the road and keep the steering wheelfacing forward Subsequently the driver controlled the

vehicle to rapidly proceed ahead such that the vehicle speedbefore entering the target path reached 40 kmh duringwhich time the steering wheel was not to be operated edriver was then allowed to drive freely by following the conetrack

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

Finally only the first element of the optimized solution isapplied to the system us the additional yaw moment isexpressed by the following equation

M(k) M(k minus 1) + ΔM(k minus 1 | k) (40)

42 Design of the Lower Controller for Vehicle StabilityControl e lower layer controller distributes the longi-tudinal forces of each wheel according to the output ofadditional yaw moment decision layer e distribution isrestricted by the adhesion condition between the tire and theroad Excessive additional longitudinal force which causeslongitudinal slip and further deteriorates the vehicle sta-bility should be avoided is force is restricted by theperformance of the motor and braking system Excessiveadditional torque causes the motor and mechanical brakingsystem to overload e torque is also restricted by theworking state of the motor therefore a state of systemfailure in which the motor cannot provide braking forceshould be avoided Under the above constraints the dis-tributed longitudinal force needs to meet the demand ofadditional yaw moment

421 Optimization Objective e longitudinal and lateralforces the tire can provide are limited by the vertical loadAs the longitudinal force of each tire should be distributedaccording to the vertical load wheels with higher adhesionwould be expected to play a greater role erefore theoptimization objective is to minimize the sum of the square

of operating working load rate of each tire Because of thelimitation imposed by practical conditions the lateral forceof wheels cannot be directly controlled In this study thelongitudinal force of tires is controlled to generate additionalyaw moment us the optimization objective is expressedby the following equation

422 Optimization Constraints

(1) Equality Constraints e strategy for distributing ad-ditional yaw moment should not only minimize the sum ofthe operating working load rate but also ensure that thelongitudinal force meets the requirements of braking andacceleration operations of the driver and that the additionalyawmomentmeets the requirements of the upper controller

(2) Inequality Constraint

(1) Adhesion condition constraint when additional yawmoment is distributed it is necessary to ensure thatthe longitudinal and lateral forces of the tire arewithin the tire adhesion ellipse to avoid longitudinaland lateral vehicle slip

(2) Motor and brake system performance constraintsthe additional longitudinal force is also limited by theperformance of the actuators e additional lon-gitudinal force of the two rear driving wheels islimited by the performance of the driving motoretwo nondriving front wheels can only providebraking force thus the additional longitudinal forceof the four wheels is limited by the performance ofthe mechanical braking system

e braking torque generated by motor is limited by thecharacteristics of the motor which cannot exceed themaximum torque limit determined by the power generatedat the current speed e large dynamic fluctuation of thebraking torque of the motor and the inverse proportion

10 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

between themaximum braking torque and speed prevent themotor from generating an adequate amount of reverseelectromotive force such that the braking force generated bythe motor is ineffective Due to the large dynamic fluctuationof motor braking torque and the inverse proportion betweenthe maximum braking torque and speed the reverse elec-tromotive force generated by the motor is too little when themotor is at low speed e motor cannot generate effectivebraking force erefore 500 rmin is set as the speedthreshold When the speed is lower than threshold thesystem no longer uses motor braking erefore the motorbraking torque is required meet the limitation provided inthe following equation [42]

At the same time control signal failure power converterfailure insulation failure and other types of failures of themotor may occur due to the design defects the serviceenvironment and service life of the motor us the driving

erefore considering the above factors comprehen-sively additional longitudinal force of wheels would have tomeet the constraints

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

52 Test Verification Road Tests e stability controlstrategy of dual-motor drive EV proposed in this paper wasverified by carrying out vehicle road tests involving bothdouble-lane and single-lane change respectively At thesame time in order to demonstrate the effect of the proposedcontrol strategy the slide mode control (SMC) with thevehicle reference model considering the driverrsquos intention ischosen as the comparative controller

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

e identification result of driver turning intention isshown in Figure 10 e yaw rate sideslip angle lateralacceleration and vehicle trajectory are shown inFigures 11ndash14 e comparison with the control experimentis presented in Table 3

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

e vehicle road test was conducted on the stabilityperformance test square of the Changrsquoan University vehiclecomprehensive performance proving ground as shown inFigure 8

521 Double-Lane Change Condition e test was con-ducted under ISO 3888-1 which specifies the standarddouble-lane change condition [43]e target driving path isshown in Figure 9 e adhesion coefficient of the test roadwas 06

First the driver was required to keep the vehicle parallelwith the road and keep the steering wheel facing forwardSubsequently the driver controlled the vehicle to rapidlyproceed ahead such that the vehicle speed before enteringthe target path reached 70 kmh during which time thesteering wheel was not to be operated e driver could thendrive freely by negotiating the cone track

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work

Figure 11 shows that the maximum yaw rate withoutcontrol is minus 35517degs whereas the reference yaw rate isminus 1866degs indicative of poor vehicle stability At 73 s thecurrent initial stage of sharp turning intention is identifiedwhereupon the reference yaw rate is modified and the

stability control system activated After 845 s the modelidentified that the current intention is normal turning thusthe reference yaw rate was no longer modified As a result ofthe control provided by the vehicle stability system themaximum yaw rate decreased by 4722 to 18744degs themaximum sideslip angle decreased by 5526 to minus 4391degand the maximum lateral acceleration decreased by 191 to4638ms2 Although dangerous conditions such as sideslipand spin without control did not arise the actual sideslipangle and yaw rate are much higher than the reference estability system clearly reduces the sideslip angle and yawrate to effectively improve the vehicle stability us thevehicle stability control system enables the vehicle to work
