Comparison of Typical Controllers for Direct Yaw Moment Control Applied on an Electric Race Car

Direct Yaw Moment Control (DYC) is an effective way to alter the behaviour of electric cars with independent drives. Controlling torque applied each wheel can improve handling performance a vehicle making it safer and faster on race track. The state-of-the-art literature covers comparison various controllers (PID, LPV, LQR, SMC, etc.) using ISO manoeuvres. However, more advanced important characteristics controllers’ lacking, such as robustness under changes in model, steering behaviour, use friction circle, and, ultimately, lap time In this study, we have compared according some aforementioned parameters modelled car. Interestingly, best times are not provided by perfect neutral or close-to-neutral vehicle, but rather allowing certain deviations from target yaw rate. addition, modified Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller showed that its comparable other complex control techniques Model Predictive (MPC).
