Modeling and Simulation in Developing Active Steering Controllers for Heavy Inland Vehicles: A Comprehensive Review

The development and implementation of active steering controller technology are essential to advancing the automated driving of heavy inland vehicles, with the objective of facilitating obstacle avoidance, risk mitigation, and precise route tracking. The goal is to develop new ideas in hybrid techniques and make automated steering systems for heavy inland vehicles safer that work in modulation and simulation. These developments are dependent on the successful navigation of issues relevant to vehicle stability control, which necessitates both a robust system and an accommodating approach to model uncertainty. This review systematically analyzes over twenty primary papers, providing a detailed overview of existing methods and technologies that have proven effective in enhancing automated steering systems and emphasizing potential avenues for future research and development. In addition, it emphasizes the importance of the driver maintaining unambiguous control over a vehicle's significant movement to ensure safe operation, thereby providing a nuanced discussion on the complex interplay of various factors that impact a driver's decision to adopt an active steering system. This paper makes a contribution to the continuing discussion by describing the current state of heavy inland vehicle transportation safety concepts and essential frameworks for controller model implementation.
