In this paper, we propose a robust model predictive vehicle control with restriction of wheel side-slip angle. The proposed method confines the wheel side slip angle to the range of small value in order to linearize the force model and to avoid tire force saturation which strongly depends on the tireroad coefficient of friction. The linearization greatly helps to improve the computational speed on model predictive control. To cope with both the linearization error and the influence of uncertainty of road surface condition, we introduce sliding mode control and suppress the disturbance due to them. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparative simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
