Abstract: Vehicle dynamics control (VDC) can be realised through controlling the vehicle in longitudinal, lateral and/or vertical motion. The focal point of this study is vehicle lateral dynamics control, where yaw stability control has a great influence on vehicle handling and stability performance. Vehicle dynamics control are experiencing an ongoing evolution to ensure vehicle safety and ride comfort. Consequently, several research studies have been proposed to improve vehicle lateral dynamics via yaw stability control. Based on these previous studies in the past three decades, this review paper aims to investigate the main fundamental elements of vehicle yaw stability control structure, in terms of the used vehicle models, control objectives, various control systems implemented for active chassis control (ACC) and control allocation strategies.

Keywords: ACC; active chassis control; VDC; vehicle dynamics control; direct yaw control; ASC; active steering control; integrated chassis control; torque vectoring; differential braking; AFS; active front steering; ARS; active rear steering.
