Abstract

Distributed drive electric vehicles enable more precise and faster power control. A vehicle steering reference acceleration generation strategy is studied in this paper to improve the steering stability of distributed drive vehicles. The strategy is explored on the basis of a four-axle in-wheel motor driven vehicle and is integrated into a hierarchical vehicle dynamic control system. The proposed strategy is implemented by an adaptive reference acceleration model. Based on linear 2 degree-of-freedom (2DOF) vehicle model, the adaptive model can correct the reference acceleration generated by 2DOF vehicle model in a nonlinear region where the vehicle total force demand exceeds the road surface adhesion limit. In linear region, the adaptive model produces a reference acceleration that is consistent with 2DOF vehicle model. Results of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation show that the proposed adaptive reference acceleration generation model has better steering stability than 2DOF linear reference model under extreme operating conditions.
