Abstract :
A control design approach is presented for active steering of front wheel steered vehicles. The approach consists of the application of disturbance decoupling via state-derivative feedback. Simulations with the resulting controller show that the use of state-derivative information may considerably enhance vehicle safety, in particular under adverse operating conditions such as icy roads.
