HANDLING CONTROL WITH ADDITIONAL REAR WHEEL STEERING

This paper shows how vehicle safety can be improved by fitting additional rear wheel steering. Details are provided of: a) lateral vehicle dynamics; and b) controller design. The results using a simulation were compared with results obtained when driving a car. The items measured included: a) steering response, including steering response during a double lane change; b) disturbance response; and c) robustness, including vehicle reaction when cornering. For the covering abstract see IRRD 870290.
