Research into integrated vehicle control ordered by six-component force at center of gravity

Abstract

Various control devices for vehicle motion have been developed. Generally, it’s difficult to apply targeted forces accurately to vehicles equipped with multiple actuators because the actuator forces are coupling complicatedly each other. To resolve the problem, a way to express the targeted vehicle motion in six-component force at the center of gravity and a calculating method of longitudinal, lateral and vertical forces of each tire to realize the six-component force have been proposed with consideration of the tire workloads. The proposed method realizes targeted vehicle motion in the most efficient way.
