Torque Vectoring for Improving the Mobility of All-terrain Electric Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Torque vectoring (TV) is one of the most promising technologies in vehicle dynamics control as it has the potential to provide distinctive benefits for mobility and agility of all-wheel drive ground vehicles. Especially in all-terrain driving, TV control can support both vehicle stability and driving efficiency. Within this context, the paper presents the state-of-the-art in TV control and introduces a new methodological approach for the development of TV control systems for all-terrain electric ground vehicles. This approach implements individually controlled electric powertrains to tune the vehicle dynamic characteristics in steady-state and transient conditions. The presented research is carried out within the European Union (EU) funded Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) project E-VECTOORC "Electric-Vehicle Control of Individual Wheel Torque for Onand Off-Road Conditions".

Various forms of electronic stability, traction and launch control have existed for over two decades, improving safety, sports performance and off-road capabilities of vehicles. These technologies involve individual control of each wheel’s drive torque or braking force in response to the dynamics of the driving conditions and the driver’s intentions. With the exception of launch control, applic...

Electric vehicles with multiple motors allow torque-vectoring, which generates a yaw moment by assigning different motor torques at the left and right wheels. This permits designing the steady-state cornering response according to several vehicle handling quality targets. For example, as widely discussed in the literature, to make the vehicle more sports-oriented, it is possible to reduce the u...
