Abstract

In the paper, we propose an adaptive rollover prevention controller for heavy vehicles. At first, a design method for an ideal vehicle model is proposed. The designed ideal vehicle model has the property that good rollover prevention performance can be assured even if the driver steering characteristics vary. If the behavior of the actual heavy vehicle tracks that of the designed ideal vehicle model, rollover prevention can be achieved. Therefore, next, to realize good rollover prevention, we propose an adaptive steering controller. In the heavy vehicle system using the controller, the actual heavy vehicle can track the ideal vehicle model. Then, rollover prevention can be achieved. Finally, to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed controller, numerical simulations are carried out.
