In this paper, a novel electric-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system and a vehicle stability coordination control algorithm are proposed which can not only ensure the accuracy of the trajectory tracking but also solve the coordination control problem between the stability of the lateral control and the stability of the roll in the extreme condition. Firstly, the EHPS system is designed to provide accurate control input of front wheel angle for vehicle lateral dynamics control. Secondly, on the basis of optimal preview theory, a new trajectory tracking fusion controller combined with sliding mode control is proposed to improve the accuracy and stability of the system in the process of vehicle lateral trajectory tracking control. Then, the stability domain boundary function of the phase plane is determined according to the phase plane of the sideslip angle-yaw rate, and the stability margin of the phase plane is calculated during the steering process. Finally, considering the tracking accuracy, lateral stability and roll stability performance in the process of trajectory tracking, the linear weighted algorithm is used to coordinate above three objectives, and the HIL bench test and real vehicle experiment verify that the proposed algorithm has good reliability and effectiveness.
