Abstract

An accurate estimation of vehicle mass is important in automation of vehicle, vehicle following manoeuvres and traditional power train control schemes. It is easy for four-wheel-hub electric motor to get accurate speed signals and torque signals. Based on this feature we introduce a new algorithm for electric vehicle online-mass estimation by decoupling vehicle mass and road grade. In the Matlab/Simulink simulation environment we establish the new estimation algorithm model and an 18 degree of freedom vehicle model. We analyze the accuracy of this online-mass estimation method by changing the value of different parameters respectively, for example, different masses, different rolling resistances… This new mass estimation method is fast and reaches a high accuracy without extra sensors.
