ANALYSIS OF VEHICLE HANDLING USING A SIMPLE TRACK MODEL OF AUTOMOBILE

This paper obtains a simplified modelling and simulation for investigation of the behavior of vehicle handling and stability using the automobile single track model. Two control technologies were used in this paper which are the traditional PID control and Fuzzy PID control. To reach the desired results of this paper, full control system must construct which contains linear single-track model of vehicle, nonlinear single-track model, and control method. One driving condition is performed which is the steering input, the steering input in this work is set as step steering angle and a lane change maneuver. The simulation results of this paper show that, the constructed control systems for vehicle models used were successful to achieve better vehicle handling and stability.
