We investigate the use of a nonlinear control allocation scheme for automotive vehicles. Such a scheme is useful in e.g. yaw or roll stabilization of the vehicle. The control allocation allows a modularization of the control task, such that a higher level control system specifies a desired moment to work on the vehicle, while the control allocation distributes this moment among the individual wheels by commanding appropriate wheel slips. The control allocation problem is defined as a nonlinear optimization problem, to which an explicit piecewise linear approximate solution function is computed off-line. Such a solution function can computationally efficiently be implemented in real time with at most a few hundred arithmetic operations per sample. Yaw stabilization of the vehicle yaw dynamics is used as an example of use of the control allocation. Simulations show that the controller stabilizes the vehicle in an extreme manoeuvre where the vehicle yaw dynamics otherwise becomes unstable.
