Outline of Final Research Achievements

Toward an improvement in safety of nonlinear control systems, a method that can analytically evaluate the performance of nonlinear control systems is developed and its effectiveness is validated through the application of the method to the evaluation of vehicle chassis control systems. The feature of this study is that the developed method distinguishes the performances of "control method" and "control algorithm". Performances of two control algorithms to a four-wheel steering control method and a direct-yaw-moment control method are evaluated by the developed method that uses a size of a controllability region as an evaluation index. The results show that two control algorithms cannot exploit full potential of the four-wheel steering control method and direct-yaw-moment control method.
