Vehicle Lateral Stability Control Based on Stability Category Recognition With Improved Brain Emotional Learning Network.

Appropriate vehicle lateral stability control is the key to ensure vehicle driving safety, whereas accurate lateral stability recognition can help improve the performance of vehicle control. In this article, the vehicle stability recognition and coordinated control are studied. Firstly, the vehicle dynamic model is established, through vehicle simulation software Carsim, the attribute dataset representing the vehicle lateral stability is further obtained. Then, clustering by fast search and find of density peaks method (CFSFDP) based procedure for the classification of the lateral stability as ‘Absolutely stability’, ‘Nearly stability’ and ‘Hardly stability’ is applied. The brain emotional learning network combined with genetic algorithm (GA-BEL) model is used to train datasets to recognize vehicle stability categories during driving. For the different recognition results, a coordinated control strategy based on active front steering control (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) is designed finally. Through the Carsim/Simulink co-simulations and Hardware-in-the-Loop tests under several typical driving conditions, the superiorities of the stability recognition method and the coordinated control strategy proposed in this paper are verified.
