Research on algorithm of stability control for tractor semi-trailer

This paper introduces the differential-braking algorithm to control the stability of tractor semi-trailer. First, it analyses the theory of differential-braking control and confirm the control strategy that follows the ideal yaw rate of 2-DOF model. From this point of view, a PID controller has been designed. The result of the co-simulation associated with MATLAB and ADAMS shows that the differential-braking algorithm is adequately effective in the stability control for the tractor semi-trailer.
