The current state of Direct Yaw Control literature has reached an advanced level, yielding compelling results in stabilizing vehicle behavior, and enhancing overall performance. However, conventional approaches exhibit limitations in addressing highly transient lateral dynamics, particularly during conditions of rapidly increasing vehicle sideslip angles, leading to poor controllability and reduced intuition for the driver. This paper introduces a novel extension to the established yaw rate tracking technique, integrating the trivial yaw rate feedback control with a less conventional model-based feedforward term, complemented by an innovative sideslip rate tracking loop. The primary objective of this term is to smoothen vehicle cornering response, effectively dampening oscillations in the vehicle’s behavior without compromising time delays to driver inputs. The intended outcome is not only enhancing safety but also delivering a more intuitive and enjoyable driving experience. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated by the results obtained through detailed Driver-in-Motion (DiM) sessions.
