Active downforce reactive control based on adaptive aerodynamic bias bounds

Abstract

A downforce control system of a host vehicle includes: at least one module configured to generate a first bias lower bound and a first bias upper bound; a parameter module configured to determine a current understeering angle of the host vehicle; an adaptive bias bounding module configured to generate an understeer and oversteer multiplier based on the current understeering angle; a fusion module configured, based on the first bias lower bound, the first bias upper bound, and the understeer and oversteer multiplier, to generate a second bias lower bound and a second bias upper bound; and a downforce tracking module configured, based on the second bias lower bound and the second bias upper bound, to adjust position of one or more downforce devices of the host vehicle.
