Chaotic Analysis and Chaos Control of a Lateral Dynamics Vehicle Based on the Nonlinear Poincaré Map with Fuzzy Controller

In this paper, firstly chaotic behavior of the lateral dynamics of vehicle is investigated by the use of numerical tools including Lyapunov exponent and bifurcation diagrams. To this end rout to chaos along with period doubling and quasi-periodic responses are demonstrated in terms of bifurcation diagrams. After chaos analysis, a novel controller commensurate with the chaotic characteristics of the system, in conformity with Poincaré map is represented to suppress the chaotic behavior of lateral movement. The Poincaré map of the system is derived by means of a neuro fuzzy network. A robust Fuzzy system on the basis of nonlinear Ott-Grebogi-Yorke (OGY) method forms the control system. Closed-loop results of the system shows effectiveness of the chaos controller in extreme conditions.
