Abstract

A brake system control method, comprising the steps of: measuring a longitudinal speed and steering angle of the vehicle; specifying an un-damped natural frequency and a damping ratio for a linear reference model of said vehicle; determining a first gain parameter relating a desired value of steady state lateral velocity to the vehicle steering angle; computing a desired lateral velocity as a function of said first gain parameter, the measured longitudinal speed, the measured steering angle, and the specified un-damped natural frequency and damping ratio; determining a second gain parameter relating a desired value of steady state yaw rate to the vehicle steering angle; computing a desired yaw rate as a function of said second gain parameter, the measured longitudinal speed and steering angle, and the specified un-damped natural frequency and damping ratio; measuring a lateral acceleration and yaw rate of said vehicle, and forming a yaw rate command for said vehicle based at least part in a first deviation between said desired and measured yaw rates, and a second deviation between said measured lateral acceleration and a desired lateral acceleration based on said desired lateral ve…
