Abstract

This study introduces a fuzzy four-wheel steering control design method for automotive vehicles. After the analysis of some stability aspects of the vehicle lateral motion, including front steering angle variations, the representation of vehicle nonlinear model by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is presented. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy controller is developed to improve the stability of the vehicle. Sufficient conditions for stability and stabilization of the T-S fuzzy model using fuzzy feedback controllers is given. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller, simulation results are given showing the performance improvements of the vehicle in terms of the stability and the maneuverability in critical situations.
