Abstract:A half car model with four degrees of freedom is built, and the sliding mode control theory is applied to prevent vehicle rollover which using magnetorheological fluid dampers as their actuators. Based on the study of stable area on sideslip angle phase portraits, the control algorithm of electronic stability control (ESC) system is set up. Considering the rollover index, the integrated control algorithm with semiactive suspension and ESC is designed. The algorithm is verified by simulation with doublelane change maneuver and fish hook test, and the simulation results indicate that the integrated control algorithm can improve vehicle handling stability and decrease roll angle, which reduces the danger of rollover efficiently
