Abstract

This paper addresses the feasibility of post-impact maneuvers that aim to mitigate accident sequences. In particular, the discussions emphasize the possibility of applying steering control to stabilize the trajectories of vehicles involved in a collision. The problem of interest is defined with descriptions of accident scenarios, limitations of applicability, and performance requirements. A model of vehicle dynamics is constructed to facilitate the design of steering controllers. Various collision scenarios are simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of a generic feedback controller. The analysis provided herein shows steering control is promising as a driver-assistance function in emergency situations
