Integrated stability and traction control for electric vehicles using model predictive control

摘要

In this paper, an integrated vehicle and wheel stability control is developed and experimentally evaluated. The integrated structure provides a more accurate solution as the output of the stability controller is not altered by a separate unit, therefore its optimality is not compromised. Model predictive control is used to find the optimal control actions. The proposed control scheme can be applied to a wide variety of vehicle driveline and actuation configurations such as: four, front and rear wheel drive systems. Computer simulations as well as experiments are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
