More and more popular electric vehicles are excellent application platforms for steerby-wire (SBW) system. Handling stabilities and active safety are greatly improved when SBW is adopted in electric vehicle. The proposed new architecture of SBW electric vehicle is introduced, its dynamics model is built after the principle and structure. The algorithm achieves the yaw motion of electric vehicle...

The most distinct advantage of electric vehicle is in its quick and precise torque generation. We propose two novel traction control techniques of electric vehicle, i.e., the model following control and the optimal slip ratio control. Their effectiveness is demonstrated by using the test vehicle "UOT Electric March".

The most distinct advantage of electric vehicle is its quick and precise torque generation. However, most electric vehicles developed until now have not yet utilized it. In this paper, two novel traction control techniques of electric vehicle using this advantage are proposed. One is the model following control and another is the optimal slip ratio control. The basic effectiveness of the propos...

Recently electric vehicles are becoming popular as an alternative of conventional fossil fuel vehicles. Conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle uses fossil fuel which contributing a major part of overall carbon emission in the environment. Carbon and other green house gas emission are responsible for global warming and resulting climate change. It becomes vital to evaluate perform...

Thanks to the development of electric motors and batteries, the performance of EV is greatly improved in the past few years. The most distinct advantage of an EV is the quick and precise torque response of the electric motors. A further merit of a 4 in-wheel-motor drived electric vehicle (4WD EV) is that, the driving/braking torque of each wheel is independently adjustable due to small but powe...

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are driven by two energy convertors, i.e., an Internal Combustion (IC) engine and an electric machine. To make powertrain of HEV as efficient as possible, proper management of the energy elements is essential. This task is completed by HEV controller, which splits power between the IC engine and Electric Motor (EM). In this paper, a Genetic-Fuzzy control strategy...

As discussed in the previous chapter, electrification is the most viable way to achieve clean and efficient transportation that is crucial to the sustainable development of the whole world. In the near future, electric vehicles (EVs) including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will dominate the clean vehicle mark...
