Reference Governor Strategies for Vehicle Rollover Avoidance

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of vehicle rollover avoidance using reference governors applied to modify the driver steering input in vehicles with an active steering system. Several reference governor designs are presented and tested with a detailed nonlinear simulation model. The vehicle dynamics are highly nonlinear for large steering angles, including the conditions where the vehicle approaches a rollover onset, which necessitates reference governor design changes. Simulation results show that reference governor designs are effective in avoiding rollover. The results also demonstrate that the controllers are not overly conservative, adjusting the driver steering input only for very high steering angles.
