Abstract
A method of cooperative vehicle control in which a high level controller includes a high level algorithm that manages the overall control strategy of the vehicle and decides which vehicle subsystems to control, with what timing and with what authority. Depending on the given situation at hand, including existing or potential conflict between sub-algorithms in the high level controller, the status of the various subsystems and the effectiveness of additional change of these subsystems, desired intervention speed, and environmental repercussions in the total vehicle system, the high level controller may decide to use differing control strategies to meet performance characteristics of the total vehicle system as well as maintain control of vehicle stability, traction characteristics and overall body motions.
