Vehicle roll stability control with active roll-resistant electro-hydraulic suspension

This study examines roll stability control for vehicles with an active roll-resistant electro-hydraulic suspension(RREHS)subsystem under steering maneuvers.First,we derive a vehicle model with four degrees of freedom and incorporates yaw and roll motions.Second,an optimal linear quadratic regulator controller is obtained in consideration of dynamic vehicle performance.Third,an RREHS subsystem with an electric servo-valve actuator is proposed,and the corresponding dynamic equations are obtained.Fourth,field experiments are conducted to validate the performance of the vehicle model under sine-wave and double-lane-change steering maneuvers.Finally,the effectiveness of the active RREHS is determined by examining vehicle responses under sine-wave and double-lane-change maneuvers.The enhancement in vehicle roll stability through the RREHS subsystem is also verified.
