Vehicle Stability Control with Four-Wheel Independent Braking, Drive and Steering on In-Wheel Motor-Driven Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a method to design a vehicle stability controller with four-wheel independent braking (4WIB), drive (4WID) and steering (4WIS) for electric vehicles (EVs) adopting in-wheel motor (IWM) system. To improve lateral stability and maneuverability of vehicles, a direct yaw moment contr...

description This paper presents a method to design a vehicle stability controller with four-wheel independent braking (4WIB), drive (4WID) and steering (4WIS) for electric vehicles (EVs) adopting in-wheel motor (IWM) system. To improve lateral stability and maneuverability of vehicles, a direct yaw moment control strategy is adopted. A control allocation method is adopted to distribute control yaw moment into tire forces, generated by 4WIB, 4WID and 4WIS. A set of variable weights in the control allocation method is introduced for the application of several actuator combinations. Simulation on a driving simulation tool, CarSim<sup>®</sup>, shows that the proposed vehicle stability controller is capable of enhancing lateral stability and maneuverability. From the simulation, the effects of actuator combinations on control performance are analyzed.
