Abstract

This paper designs a nonlinear real-time optimization sliding mode controller (NRO-SMC) focusing on improving stability according to the characteristics of independent and controllable torque of each motor in distributed in-wheel drive electric vehicles. The proposed NRO-SMC adopts hierarchical control, and the sliding mode algorithm is adopted by the high-level controller to decide the additional yaw moment. The sideslip angle and yaw rate are introduced into the sliding mode surface as the input to realize the simultaneous tracking of them; while a torque distribution controller is established for the low-level controller to allocate additional yaw moment to each in-wheel motor through nonlinear optimization. Finally, the co-simulation is carried out and verified under double lane change conditions on the basis of CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink. Results show that the proposed NRO-SMC reduces the sideslip angle of the vehicle to 23.51 % under the premise of ensuring the expected driving trajectory, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration, thereby improving the lateral stability of the vehicle.
