This study investigates an adaptive differential control system for 4WID (4-wheel-independent-drive) electric vehicles. The novel adaptive system will maneuver the independently operating hub motors without the help of any conventional steering mechanism. The control system consists of a hierarchical structure to confront the vehicle stability condition, which includes a novel SMC (sliding mode control) with a fuzzy algorithm parameter modification to achieve the required virtual control signal at the top level, and a quadratic programming-based torque allocation algorithm at the bottom-level controller. The proposed controller was tested through Simulink/Carsim simulation and experiments. All the test cases showed the advantages of the proposed method over some of the currently existing 4WID control strategies.

This paper introduces a case study on the potential of new mechatronic chassis systems for battery electric vehicles, in this case a brake-by-wire (BBW) system and in-wheel propulsion on the rear axle combined with an integrated chassis control providing common safety features like anti-lock braking system (ABS), and enhanced functionalities, like torque blending. The presented controller was intended to also show the potential of continuous control strategies with regard to active safety, vehicle stability and driving comfort. Therefore, an integral sliding mode (ISM) and proportional integral (PI) control were used for wheel slip control (WSC) and benchmarked against each other and against classical used rule-based approach. The controller was realized in MatLab/Simulink and tested under real-time conditions in IPG CarMaker simulation environment for experimentally validated models of the target vehicle and its systems. The controller also contains robust observers for estimation of non-measurable vehicle states and parameters e.g., vehicle mass or road grade, which can have a significant influence on control performance and vehicle safety.


Electric vehicle (EV) are being embraced in recent times as they run on clean fuel, zero tail emission and are environment-friendly. Recent advancements in the field of power electronics and control strategies have made it possible to the advent in the vehicle dynamics, efficiency and range. This paper presents a design for traction control system (TCS) for longitudinal stability and Direct Yaw Control (DYC) for lateral stability simultaneous. The TCS and DYC is based on multiple frequency controlled electronic differential with a simple and effective approach. Along with it, some overviews have been presented on some state of the art in traction control system (TCS) and torque vectoring. The developed technique reduces nonlinearity, multisensory interfacing complexity and response time of the system. This torque and yaw correction strategy can be implemented alongside fuzzy control, sliding mode or neural network based controller. The effectiveness of the control method has been validated using a lightweight neighbourhood electric vehicle as a test platform. The acquired results confirm the versatility of proposed design and can be implemented in any DC motor based TCS/DYC.

In this paper, a sliding mode vector control system based on collaborative optimization of an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AFPMSM) for an electric vehicle is proposed. In order to increase the high efficiency range of electric vehicles and improve the cruising range, a collaborative optimization control strategy is firstly proposed. Due to the use of a dual stator-single rotor AFPMSM, the multi-motor efficiency optimization map and torque cooperative control are used to realize the working mode conversion of single stator and double stator, and the torque ripple caused by the working mode conversion is improved by fuzzy control. In order to improve the torque tracking capability, speed limiting characteristics, and operating characteristics, a speed limit and current vector control strategy based on a sliding mode controller is proposed and studied. The dynamic performance of electric vehicles is improved by a sliding mode vector control. Finally, a drive control system was developed for the proposed control strategy, and the complete vehicle test was carried out. The collaborative optimization control experiment and torque tracking and speed limiting experiments verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. The acceleration performance and endurance experiments show that the proposed control strategy can effectively improve the cruising range and the acceleration performance of electric vehicles.

In this paper, we propose a piecewise smooth SI pest control system to model the process of spraying pesticides and releasing infectious pests. We assume that the pest population consists of susceptible pests and infectious pests, and that the disease spreads horizontally between pests. We take the susceptible pest as the control index on whether to implement chemical control and biological control strategies. Based on the theory of Filippov system, the sliding-mode domain and conditions for the existence of real equilibria, virtual equilibria, pseudo-equilibrium and boundary equilibria are given. Further, we show the global stability of real equilibria (or boundary equilibria) and pseudo-equilibrium. Our results can provide theoretical guidance for the problem of pest control.

This paper takes the electric off-road vehicle with separated driven axles as the research object. To solve the longitudinal dynamics driving control problems, vehicle dynamics model, and control strategies were studied and the corresponding simulation was carried out. An 8-DOF vehicle dynamics model with separated driven axles was built. The driving control strategies on the typical roads were put forward. The recognition algorithm of the typical road surfaces based on the wheels’ slip rates was proposed. And the two control systems were designed including the pedal opening degree adjustment control system based on PI algorithm and the interaxle torque distribution control system based on sliding mode control algorithm. The driving control flow of the proposed vehicle combining the pedal adjustment control system with the interaxle torque distribution control system was developed. And the driven control strategies for the typical roads were simulated. Simulation results show that the proposed drive control strategies can adapt to different typical road surfaces, limit the slip rates of the driving wheels within the stable zone, and ensure the vehicle driving safely and stably in accordance with the driver's intention.

The continuous increase of car ownership brings convenience to people's life and also poses a threat to people's life and property security. Vehicle active safety system is the hotspot of current research and development, which plays an important role in automobile safety. Firstly, the vehicle active safety technology and its development situation was introduced, then Ref. review was carried out about Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD/CBC), Brake Assist System (BAS/EBA/BA), Traction Control System (TCS/ASR), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC/ESP/DSC), etc. At present, there are many patents on the control of each subsystem, but few patents on the integrated control for the active safety of vehicles. Objective: The main contents of this paper are as follows: the control strategies and methods of different active safety systems, how to improve the stability of vehicle control and ensure the effectiveness of active safety system control. It provides a reference for the development of active safety control technology and patent. Methods: Through the analysis of different control algorithms and control strategies of Anti-lock and braking force distribution systems, it is pointed out that the switching of EBD/ABS coordinated control strategy according to slip rate can make full use of slip rate and road adhesion coefficient to improve the safety of the system. For the BAS, the slip problem is solved through the combination of Mechanical Assistant Braking System (MABS) and Electronic Braking Assistant (EBA) system by measuring the distance of the vehicle ahead and the speed of the vehicle ahead. The optimal slip rate control is realized by different control algorithms and control strategies of traction control system. It is pointed out that the adaptive fuzzy neural controller should be used to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle of Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which has a good effect on maintaining vehicle stability. A sliding mode variable structure controller combined with constant speed control and approach law control is used to control the yaw moment. Results: Through the coordinated control strategy of EBD/ABS, the slip rate and road adhesion coefficient were fully utilized by switching according to slip rate. The problem of sliding slope is solved by MABS with EBA system. The ESP should use adaptive fuzzy neural controller to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle, and adopt the joint sliding mode variable structure controller which combines the ABS control and the yaw moment control. Through the optimal control theory, the coordinated control of each subsystem can significantly improve the driving stability, riding comfort, fuel economy and so on. Conclusion: This adopt different control strategy and control algorithm for different active safety control system and make full use of tire-road friction coefficient and slip ratio optimal slip ratio, then it realized accurate control of control variables such as yawing angular velocity, centroid side-slip angle, yawing moment and finally ensure the vehicle braking stability, robustness of the controller and the lateral stability of vehicle.

In this paper, we present a coordinated control system of differential and assisted steering for in-wheel motor driven (IMD) electric vehicles (EVs) with two independent front-wheel drives. An electric differential (ED) control strategy is proposed to track the expected yaw rate based on sliding mode control (SMC). Meanwhile, to realize differential drive assisted steering (DDAS), a variable speed integral PID controller is used to follow the ideal steering wheel torque. The impacts of the coupling with the ED and DDAS systems on EVs are analyzed, and a coordinated control system with adaptive weighting dependent on vehicle speed is designed. Results of the simulation on the CarSim-Simulink joint platform for IMD EVs model show that the proposed coordinated control approach can effectively reduce the torque of a steering wheel while ensuring the vehicle’s stability. Finally, road testing results of IMD EVs are demonstrated to be comparable with joint simulations, indicating the correctness of this solution.

Light electric vehicles (LEV) have been developed for the interests of green, low pollution and low noise. The development of in-wheel motors improve electric vehicles’ power efficiency and simplify the transmission system design. However, to coordinate the wheel torques and their angular velocities becomes an issue, which affects the vehicle’s dynamics and handling stability. In this paper, an electric differential system (EDS) for a rhombus-chassis EV is focused on. The relation of driving wheels’ speeds was derived particularly for rhombus configuration, and it has been carried out on a control system. Compared to the conventional control strategy for three-wheeled vehicles, the proposed method could estimate a more accurate turning center with sensing the tail wheel’s rotating angle that is beneficial to smoothen vehicle’s cornering with a more adequate differential relation. Experiments were carried out with a real concept car “ITRI LEV 1,” and tests such as straight-line test, constant-radius test, and Slalom turn test were conducted. The results show the EDS could effectively improve vehicle’s maneuverability and stability. The required steering angle became larger and trending to under steering while enabling the proposed EDS system, and wheel skidding was also effectively prevented in both constant-radius and Slalom turn tests.
