Abstract:

In order to improve the handling stability of the vehicle in curve driving, an aerodynamic kit of the active tilting rear wing is designed in this paper. With the active tilting rear wing and front lip added to the existing vehicle, the relationship between the vehicle’s aerodynamic characteristics and the rear wing’s angle of tilting and angle of attack is found through aerodynamic simulation. Based on the fuzzy control algorithm, the control strategy of the rear wing with adjustable angle of tilt and angle of attack is designed, which is optimized through vehicle handling stability simulation. With the active tilting rear wing aerodynamic kit installed on the actual vehicle and the control system coded according to the optimized control strategy, the handling stability test is carried out based on the national standards. The results show that compared with the vehicle equipped with the aerodynamic kit that only have adjustable angle of attack and the vehicle without aerodynamic kit, the stability of the vehicle equipped with active tilting rear wing aerodynamic kit have improved.
