Applications in commercial and military fields created high demands on the steering performance of multi-axle vehicle. With the characteristic of more degrees of freedom (DOF), all-wheel cooperative steering is more conducive to improve the steering performance of multi-axle vehicle. This paper studies multi-axle vehicle assembled with steer-by-wire system, and proposes a control strategy to achieve all-wheel cooperative steering to improve the low-speed steering flexibility and high-speed steering stability of multi-axle vehicle. Based on the ideal steering performance at low-speed and high-speed, the steady-state gain of multi-axle vehicles at different speeds is reshaped. Also, the corresponding vehicle reference model is constructed to provide the ideal vehicle state as a reference. The precision of the vehicle reference model is verified by an all-wheel independent steering platform.

A vehicle dynamics stability control system based on integrated-electro-hydraulic brake (I-EHB) system with hierarchical control architecture and nonlinear control method is designed to improve the vehicle dynamics stability under extreme conditions in this paper. The I-EHB system is a novel brake-by-wire system, and is suitable to the development demands of intelligent vehicle technology and new energy vehicle technology. Four inlet valves and four outlet valves are added to the layout of a conventional four-channel hydraulic control unit. A permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) provides a stabilized high-pressure source in the master cylinder, and the four-channel hydraulic control unit ensures that the pressures in each wheel cylinder can be modulated separately at a high precision. Besides, the functions of Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control System and Regenerative Braking System, Autonomous Emergency Braking can be integrated in this brake-by-wire system.
