Research Abstract

A new desktop validation method for nonlinear control systems based on the comparison of controllability region is developed. This method makes it possible to validate different types of control systems in a unified manner because larger controllability region indicates better control performance. The problem to determine the boundary of the controllability region is formulated as a maximization problem of a state norm on a phase plane and solved by using a numerical method of optimal control problem. The method is applied to the validation of vehicle chassis control systems. The result shows the effectiveness of the proposed method for the validation of nonlinear control systems.
