A comparison of yaw stability control strategies for the active differential

In the area of active differential control, three principal control strategies for yaw stability control are utilised. These strategies include Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID), Single Input Single Output (SISO) H
_∞
, and Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) H
_∞
, where both yaw velocity and yaw acceleration are used as inputs to the controller. In this report, a general template has been proposed for comparing the proposed controllers. This template can only be used in the linear domain and so for non-linear analysis, a ten degrees of freedom non-linear vehicle model is utilised. Finally, the simulation results are compared to the on-vehicle results, which were obtained on both low and high tire-road surface adhesion (mue) conditions.
