ABSTRACT

Production-type G-Vectoring Control vehicles are now being put on the market. Reviewers have praised the handling quality and course traceability of these vehicles. This paper clarifies the mechanism behind this improvement in handling quality using a simple bicycle model and driver model analysis. It focuses on the residual yaw angular acceleration when the steering speed is zero and shows that G-Vectoring Control reduces its value. This result provides evidence for improved handling quality in G-Vectoring Control vehicles.
