Active control techniques such as Torque vectoring (TV), Active differential breaking systems (ADBS) and Active trailer steering (ASS) provides promising solutions by acknowledging LCVs design problem. To address LCV’s design problem, active steering systems (ATS) have been proposed. They work by steering the rear wheels, and the steering angle of each wheel is generated by taking into consideration the vehicles current states. Active steering has been widely investigated to improve the maneuverability at low speeds, lateral stability at high speeds and a trade-off between maneuverability and lateral stability.
Pivot point-based control for active rear-wheel steering in passenger vehicles

Active steering systems are used to improve vehicle safety, comfort and driving dynamics. Additional rear-wheel steering has been used for over two decades and becomes more popular again in regard to serial production cars during the last years, see, for example, [1,2]. As presented in [2,3] the benefit of urban functionalities due to larger vehicles in conjunction with increasing urbanisation is enormous. In contrast to active steering interventions at the front axis the traffic space in lateral direction can be decreased with a reduced trajectory radii at the same time, cf. [4]. The cinematic domain has been widely investigated, see for instance [5], thus the focus is on the dynamic manipulation to simplify the driving task in typical urban surroundings like lane change, roundabouts and cornering.
