Coordinated Steering and Braking Control for Heavy Vehicles During Split-Friction Braking
This thesis at Scania builds on previous work on split-friction braking. It will investigate control strategies for driver assistance, with the aim of implementing and evaluating the selected approach on Scania’s test track.
Introduction
Thesis work is an excellent way to get closer to Scania and build relationships for the future. Many of today's employees began their Scania career with their degree project.
Background
When the wheels on the left and right sides of a vehicle brake on surfaces with different friction levels, the resulting split-friction (μ-split) braking creates an unwanted yaw moment. Steering control can counteract this moment while helping the vehicle maintain lateral stability. This thesis will build on the control methods explored in the previous work and investigate how they can be developed further.
