Actuator fault-based integrated control for vehicle chassis system

An integrated fault tolerant controller is proposed for vehicle chassis system. Based on the coupled characteristics of vertical and lateral system, the fault tolerant controller mainly concentrates on the cooperative control of controllable suspension and lateral system with external disturbances and actuator faults. A nine-DOF coupled model is developed for fault reconstruction and accurate control. Firstly, a fault reconstruction mechanism based on sliding mode is introduced; when the sliding mode achieves, actuator fault signals can be observed exactly through selecting appropriate gain matrix and equivalent output injection term. Secondly, an active suspension controller, a roll moment controller and a stability controller is developed respectively; the integrated control strategy is applied to the system under different driving conditions: when the car is traveling straightly, the main purpose of the integrated strategy is to improve the vertical performance; the lateral controller including roll moment control and stability control will be triggered when there is a steering angle input. Simulations experiments verify the performance enhancement and stability of the proposed controller under three different driving conditions.
