Lateral Control of Long Combination Vehicle by Active Braking Control of Converter Dolly

The current study is validation of active braking for A-double long vehicle combination. The experimentalinvestigation was done in University of Michigan. In order to improve the high-speed lateral performance, differentialbraking for converter dolly is proposed, and the corresponding controller is designed. The nonlinear model of thevehicle system is constructed in TruckSim. A co-simulation with Matlab/Simulink is carried out to integrate the fuzzylogic controller. Results showed improvement in lateral performance and reduction of rearward amplification.
