Abstract
This paper proposes an adaptive sliding mode control scheme for steer-by-wire (SBW) vehicles subject to tire burst in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbances. To estimate the lateral slip angle of the vehicle after the tire has burst, a sliding mode observer is provided to estimate the lateral slip angle through rotational speed and lateral acceleration measurements. First, an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC), as a high-level lateral stability controller, is designed to calculate the modified steering angle and achieve the desired rotational speed and slip angle. In addition, an adaptive rule is included in the control rule to estimate the switching gain so as to overcome the lack of information due to complex uncertainty. The desired steering angle is then created by a lower steering controller via an adaptive sliding mode controller for an SBW wired steering system. The simulation results in MATLAB Simulink and CarSim software show the optimal stability control for different steering maneuvers by bursting the tire. Finally, the comprehensive performance of the adaptive slip mode controller design in tracking the main track and controlling lateral stability is evaluated and discussed.
