MPC Based Driver's Intention Prediction Method for Vehicle Stability Control

Abstract

Abstract-Aiming at improving vehicle handling and stability performance, a model predictive control based vehicle yaw stability controller is designed via active front steering system. In this paper, the reference yaw rate is varied in each prediction horizon, which can predict the driver's intention. And the steering system constraint is also taken into account. The proposed MPC controller is verified on a Carsim simulation platform under the sinusoidal input test maneuver. Simulation results show the benefits of the control methodology used.
