... are controlled by the state feedback in order to change the lateral dynamic characteristics of the vehicle and to have good active safety. On the other hand, the nonlinear variable structure controller is used to compensate the influences of tire nonlinear characteristics, variation of the adhesion coefficients...

...Said Oucheriah This brief deals with the stabilization of a class of time-delay systems subject to external disturbance vectors whose bounds are not known. A continuous adaptive variable structure controller is synthesized to guarantee that the motions of the sliding surface are uniformly...
