Abstract

In order to solve the problem of excessive understeer of four-wheel -steering vehicle with zero mass-center side-slip angle and proportional control at high speed, using fuzzy logical control method, adding direct yaw moment control of four wheel steering to solve this question. a two DOF four-wheel-steering vehicle model with integrated control of steering angle and yaw moment was established. The Four wheel steering system (4WS) which takes yaw rate and side-slip angle as the control object was realized with fuzzy control method. The fuzzy controller was designed with Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of MATLAB, and dynamic simulation has been carried out with SIMULINK. The result showed that fuzzy logic control method can improve vehicle handling stability effectively and doesn´t increase the driver´s driving burden at the same time.
