Abstract
An improved closed-loop vehicle yaw control in which a yaw rate limit based on measured lateral acceleration is used during transient steering maneuvers to dynamically limit a desired yaw rate derived from driver steering input. A preliminary yaw rate limit is computed based on the measured lateral acceleration, and a dynamic yaw rate limit having a proper phase relationship with the desired yaw rate is developed based on the relative magnitudes of the desired yaw rate and the preliminary yaw rate limit. A two-stage process is used to develop the dynamic yaw rate limit. A first stage yaw rate limit is determined according the lower in magnitude of the desired yaw rate and the preliminary yaw rate limit, and a second stage yaw rate limit (i.e., the dynamic yaw rate limit) is determined according to the relative magnitudes of (1) the desired yaw rate and the second stage yaw rate limit, and (2) the first stage yaw rate limit and the second stage yaw rate limit. The desired yaw rate, as limited by the dynamic yaw rate limit, is then combined with the actual or estimated yaw rate to form a yaw rate error, which in turn, is used to develop a yaw rate control command for the vehicle.
