Active Steering for Vehicle System Using Sliding Mode Control

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new control method in active steering for vehicle stability using Sliding Mode Control technique. A single track car model is used in the study and the performance of the system using SMC technique will be compared to the pole placement and LQR techniques. Different road friction coefficients and various disturbances will be observed as the varying parameters to see the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed control. Performance of each case and its ability to attenuate disturbances in term of yaw rate as well as side slip angle will be simulated.
