The paper describes an investigation into the active roll control of articulated vehicles. The objective is to minimise lateral load transfer using anti-roll bars incorporating low bandwith hydraulic actuators. Results from handling tests performed on an articulated vehicle are used to validate a nonlinear yaw/roll model of the vehicle. The methodology used to design lateral acceleration controllers for vehicles equipped with active anti-roll bars is developed using a simplified linear articulated vehicle model. The hardware limitations and power consumption requirements of the active elements are studied. The controller is then implemented in the validated articulated vehicle model to evaluate the performance of an articulated lorry with active anti-roll bars. The simulation results demonstrate the possibility of a significant improvement in the transient roll performance of the vehicle, using a relatively low power system (10 kW), with low bandwidth actuators (5 Hz).
