This paper examines the feasibility of Direct Yaw-moment Control (DYC) in the context of lane keeping system. The DYC, which is generated by differential traction force distribution, is designed with consideration of the road image information to assist the driver's steering maneuver for lane keeping task. Consequently, the controller is designed to regulate the lateral deviation based on the lane marker position acquired via CCD camera with on-board image processing system. The effectiveness of the proposed control system was verified by actual driving test with micro electric vehicle equipped with two independent in-wheel-motors for generating DYC.
