Application of active disturbance rejection control strategy for active front wheel steering control

In order to overcome the problems of linear control method, which are unfavorable performance and highly depending on the accuracy of vehicle model, active disturbance rejection control(ADRC) strategy is used to complete active front wheel steering(AFS) control in this paper. According to the general principle of ADRC, a second order ADRC strategy is designed. Under the operation conditions of high speed single lane change and braking on μ-split road, the control performance is studied by means of simulation. The results show that the ADRC strategy can realize AFS control effectively and decrease the dependence on the accuracy of vehicle model. At the same time, the performance is better than that of PID control.
