Vehicle Optimal Torque Vectoring Using State-Derivative Feedback and Linear Matrix Inequality

The paper addresses important practical issues related to the design of vehicle stability control technologies such as real-time implementation, computational efficiency and proper sensor configuration. An innovative controller is proposed, based on the solution of an offline optimization problem. The controller has a closed-form solution, thereby making it effective in terms of real-time implementation and computational efficiency. The controller feedbacks are acceleration signals which can be directly measured directly by accelerometers or Inertial Measurement Units. This research work was carried out in collaboration with research staff of GM Company. Part of the work was patented by GM (US patent 20120059547).
