Yaw stability control using the fuzzy PID controller for active front steering

In order to improve the yaw stability of the vehicle with active front steering system, an adaptive PID-type fuzzy control scheme is designed to make the yaw rate tracking the desired values as close as possible. A 2-DOF vehicle model with active front steering is built firstly, and then the fuzzy PID controller is designed in detail. The simulation investigations of the yaw stability with different steering maneuvers are performed. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the fuzzy PID controller for improving the vehicle's yaw stability.
