scholarly journals Design and Analysis of DYC and Torque Vectoring using Multiple-Frequency Control Electronic Differential in an Independent Rear Wheel Driven Electric Vehicle

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.

This paper presents the conceptual design of the traction control system of a high performance electric vehicle with four driven wheels, intended to be used in quarter mile competitions. Different models of the longitudinal and vertical vehicle’s dynamics are presented, in order to consider the coupling dynamics of front and rear wheels. Two slip control strategies are proposed so as to maximize the traction forces of the wheels. The first one consists of a traditional control scheme applied to each wheel of the vehicle. Since the interaction between the tire and the road is often poorly known, the second controller proposed consists of a perturbation based extremum seeking control (PBESC), in order to maximize the traction force without knowledge of the road and the tire characteristics. Finally an auto tuning process based on low discrepancy sequences for both control systems is presented.

In this paper, the concept of intelligent tire and road surface information measurement methods are introduced, and the sliding mode algorithm for traction control system based on intelligent tire is proposed. By applying braking torque onto the driving wheels, the slip rates are adjusted to maintain within the optimal region on different road surface, and the optimal longitudinal traction is achieved. According to the simulation results on the CARSIM and MATLAB co-simulation platform of several working conditions, the TCS based on sliding mode control method improves the traction performance on different road surface effectively.

Most narrow-gauge vehicles driven by DC motor now, as DC drive due to power constraints and high maintenance costs, most of them will gradually be replaced by AC drives. But VVVF(Variable Voltage Variable Frequency) control method adopt in some running narrow-track traction locomotives, that can reduce over-current with load starting and should be compensated at low frequency. Based on study the Control strategies of narrow-track locomotives, comparing with the characteristics of power distribution of dual-motor drive system. The motor ought to have the same mechanical feature in dual-motor drive system, vector control strategy select in the control system. Experiments prove the system has good performance of stability, reliability, and good control performance, which can meet the narrow-track traction locomotive control requirements.

Under complicated situations, such as the low slippery road surface and split-μroad surface, traction control system is the key issue to improve the performance of vehicle acceleration and stability. In this paper, a novel control strategy with engine controller and active pressure controller is presented. First and foremost, an ideal vehicle model is proposed for simulation; then a method for the calculation of optimal slip ratio is also brought. Finally, the scheme of control method with engine controller and active brake controller is presented. From the results of simulation and road tests, it can be concluded that the acceleration performance and stability of a vehicle equipped with traction control system (TCS) can be improved.
