Improvement of Roll Feeling by Damping Force Control Based upon G-Vectoring Concept

Abstract

It has already reported that the coordination of roll and pitch motion has a great influence on roll feeling itself. In this paper, we developed a new damping force control method based on G-Vectoring concept. This method stabilizes a rotation axis of vehicle by the coordination of the roll and pitch rate. The validity and applicability of the control method has proven by computer simulations and the control equipped vehicle's test results.
