Performance Prediction of a 4WD High-Performance Electric Vehicle Using a Model-Based Torque-Vectoring Approach

Electric vehicles (EVs) enable the integration of powertrains with multiple motors, allowing for the adjustment of torque delivered to each wheel. This approach permits the implementation of torque vectoring techniques (TV) to enhance the vehicle’s stability and cornering response, providing better...

description Electric vehicles (EVs) enable the integration of powertrains with multiple motors, allowing for the adjustment of torque delivered to each wheel. This approach permits the implementation of torque vectoring techniques (TV) to enhance the vehicle’s stability and cornering response, providing better control of yaw moments. This study utilizes comprehensive telemetry data and an advanced simulator model to assess the influence of torque vectoring (TV) on a Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) competition vehicle. The telemetry data were collected from a fully instrumented 2WD car, which was then employed to calibrate the simulation model. The calibrated model was subsequently utilized to predict the performance enhancements that could be achieved by implementing a 4WD system. The methodology proved to be a valuable contribution to vehicle design development. This approach also helps evaluate the potential advantages of torque vectoring for drivers with limited experience.
