Abstract :
A vehicle model is developed including nonlinear effects of weight transfer on cornering force generated by tires. By distributing a roll resisting moment between the front and rear axles, vehicle handling can be influenced. Results are reported for a controller derived using feedback linearization as well as an intuitive approach. Based on the simulation results, the intuitive controller was implemented on an active vehicle suspension, with results reported.
