Abstract:

Aiming at the handling and stability problems of distributed electric vehicles under normal and faulty driving motor conditions, a driving force distribution control method combining front wheel steering and driving force reconstruction is proposed. Firstly, a sliding mode weighted controller is designed based on yaw rate and the side slip angle of mass center to calculate the additional yaw moment required; and the optimal distribution model of driving force for the normal and faulty conditions of drive motor is established respectively, in which, the yaw moment is compensated by coordinating the steering of front wheels for limiting the output capacity of drive motor in faulty conditions. Then the optimal driving force distribution value is solved out based on quadratic programming theory. Finally, a Carsim/Simulink joint simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the coordinated control method proposed. The results show that this method can make full use of the redundant characteristics of distributed drives to ensure the distributed electric vehicles can meet the requirements of handling stability under normal and faulty driving motor conditions.
