Robust roll motion control of a vehicle using integrated control strategy

This paper presents an electrically actuated roll motion control of a vehicle using simulation and experimental analysis. The controller is designed with an H∞ control scheme based on the 3 DOF vehicle model considering parameter variations, which affect the roll dynamics. To investigate the feasibility of the active roll control system, its performance is evaluated by simulation in a full vehicle model under various conditions. The Hil setup with the electrically actuated roll control system was devised and its performance was investigated through experimental works. Finally, to enhance the performance in a transient region, an integrated control strategy is presented.
