Reducing the motor power losses of a four-wheel drive, fully electric vehicle via wheel torque allocation

Reducing the Motor Power Losses of a Four-Wheel Drive Fully Electric Vehicle via Wheel Torque Allocation

Individually-controlled electric motors provide opportunities for enhancing the handling characteristics and energy efficiency of fully electric vehicles. Online power loss minimisation schemes based on electric motor efficiency data may, however, be impractical for real-time implementation due to the heavy computational demand. In this paper, the optimal wheel torque distribution for minimal p...

Type-2 Fuzzy Braking-Torque Electronic Stability Control for Four-Wheel Independent Drive Electric Vehicles

The electronic stability control (ESC) system is one of the most important active safety systems in vehicles. Here, we intend to improve the Electronic stability of four in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles. We will design an electronic stability control system based on Type-2 fuzzy logic controller. Since, Type-2 fuzzy controller has uncertainty in input interval furthermore of output fuzzin...

Yaw Rate Control and Actuator Fault Detection and Isolation for a Four Wheel Independent Drive Electric Vehicle

In this paper, a new actuator fault detection and isolation method for a four wheel independent drive electric vehicle is proposed. Also, a controller based on sliding mode control method is proposed for lateral stability of the vehicle. The proposed control method is designed in three high, medium and low levels. At the high-level, the vehicle desired dynamics such as longitudinal speed refere...

The Summary of the Research on the Compound Braking Strategy of Four Wheel Hub Motor Drive Electric Vehicle

This paper describes in detail three kinds of typical compound braking strategy of wheel motor drive electric vehicle and summarizes the current commonly used strategies based on the three typical strategies developed. In the end, a new compound braking strategy is proposed; that is, we take braking mode classify, ECE regulations and SOC value of the battery as an important reference of braking...
