Abstract

The performance of independent wheel drive electric vehicles (EVs) to prevent the generation of vehicle slipping is effective by distributing the four wheels’ torque independently. The direct yaw moment generated by the tire force difference between the two sides of the vehicle is taken as the control input. Considering that the control performance is affected by varying vertical load, and the designed torque distribution controller presents the effective method to give practical benefits in motion control. Last computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink-Carsim is carried out to investigate the method of torque distribution based on the ratio of the vertical load of each wheel to the total vehicle load for EVs to improve the performance of handling and security.
