Rollover prevention for heavy trucks using robust control

Heavy truck rollovers are dangerous and possibly fatal accidents. This paper discusses a robust control algorithm to improve the roll stability of heavy trucks. The controller minimizes the lateral load transfer (LTR) to reduce the rollover probability using differential braking. The paper also designs the robust controller which can adopt the robustness to variations in vehicle speed. The simulation results show that the robust controller is very effective in vehicle rollover prevention control of heavy trucks.
