Many modern road vehicles are designed on the assumption that advanced chassis control systems must be installed in order to meet performance requirements on handling, stability and ride comfort. These control systems have to be certified for the safety of driving under a wide variety of conditions. In this paper, a model-based validation procedure for advanced chassis control systems is proposed. This new procedure combines a bifurcation-based method that assesses static properties with an optimisation-based method that evaluates the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle to time-varying input. The proposed procedure is applied to certificate a nominal chassis control system that uses differential braking. The results show the capability of the procedure to significantly improve both the reliability and the efficiency of the validation process.
