Abstract
A motor vehicle and method for operating the same comprises two front wheels with front wheel steering, two rear wheels with rear wheel steering, and a driving stability device with a controller. The driving stability device, in particular the controller, is designed to synchronize the front wheel steering and the rear wheel steering such that the front wheel steering and rear wheel steering are involved independently of one another in controlling the driving stability.
Claims12
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- two front wheels with front wheel steering,
- two rear wheels with rear wheel steering, and
- a driving stability device with a controller, wherein the controller of the driving stability device is configured to synchronize the front wheel steering and the rear wheel steering in such a way that the front wheel steering and rear wheel steering are involved independently of one another in controlling the driving stability, wherein the controller of the driving stability device, is further configured to:
- calculate a target yaw rate (γtarget) from a vehicle speed (v) and a steering wheel angle (δsteering), and to calculate a side slip angle (β) from the vehicle speed (v) and the steering wheel angle (δsteering);
- calculate a difference between an actual yaw rate (γmeas) and a target yaw rate (γtarget), resulting in a definition of a target yaw rate error (eγ);
- calculate a desired overall steering angle (Δδg) from the target yaw rate error (eγ);
- and
- distribute the angle between the front and rear axle, by one of:
- only the steering angle of the front wheels is corrected (correction steering angle (Δδf) for the front wheels);
- only the steering angle of the rear wheels is corrected (correction steering angle (Δδr) for the rear wheels);
- and
- both the front steering angle and the rear steering angle are changed (correction steering angle (Δδf) for the front wheels, correction steering angle (Δδr) for the rear wheels);
- wherein the controller is configured to control a yaw rate (γ) and the side slip angle (β) of the vehicle, wherein the controller comprises a cascade controller which separates the control of the yaw rate (γ) and the control of the side slip angle (β) from one another without influencing one another.

- distribute the angle to the rear axle, by correcting only the steering angle of the rear wheels, wherein correcting the steering angle of the rear wheels includes either ensuring that a correction steering angle for the rear wheels (Δδr) corresponds to a negative of the desired overall steering angle (Δδg), or changing a target side slip angle (βtarget);
- and
- distribute the angle between the front and rear axle, by correcting both the front steering angle and the rear steering angle, wherein correcting the rear steering angle includes either ensuring that a correction steering angle for the rear wheels (Δδr) corresponds to a negative of the desired overall steering angle (Δδg), or changing a target side slip angle (βtarget).
