Abstract
Small 4-in-wheel-motor vehicles are required to have driving performance same as that of conventional cars. From the requirement analysis utilizing sequence diagrams based on the operational scenario, necessity of driving stability on low rolling resistance is derived. In this study we pick Direct Yaw moment Control (DYC) among several control architectures for driving stability. We develop a model for verification of control performance of the DYC system using the model of JSAE-SICE Benchmark Problem No.3. Some simulation results for testing under crosswind conditions and double lane change are shown.
