A COOPERATIVE STEERING CONTROL BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR WHEELS IN FOUR-WHEEL-STEERING CARS

The stability and control of a four-wheel-steering car is studied theoretically using a two-degrees-of-freedom mathematical model. An appropriate cooperative control between front and rear wheels changes the lateral-yaw dynamics of cars from a second-order-system to a first-order-system which is desirable for the driver. Compensation for sideslip of tires by an automatic steering control using feedback signals of cornering forces and yawing velocity of the car also improves the control and stability of cars.
