Four-wheel independent drive electric vehicles have become the latest development trend of due to their simple structure and high control accuracy. Aiming at sliding problem four-wheel driving in process, a anti-skid strategy is designed. The includes two contents: (1) road recognition module that tracks best slip rate real time; (2) uses fuzzy PID control. Then, based on Carsim MATLAB/Simulink...

Original scientific paper By introducing a novel permanent magnetic bi-stable electromagnetic clutch unit (PMBECU) in the driveline of directly-driven electric vehicle, a flexible connection between motor and hub is realized with characteristic of separated starting process of drive motor and wheel load. Firstly, the working principle and power supply scheme for the PMBECU is discussed. Then th...

In this paper, a new actuator fault detection and isolation method for a four wheel independent drive electric vehicle is proposed. Also, a controller based on sliding mode control method is proposed for lateral stability of the vehicle. The proposed control method is designed in three high, medium and low levels. At the high-level, the vehicle desired dynamics such as longitudinal speed refere...

This article presents a new open-end winding induction motor (OEWIM)-based dual-motor differential four-wheel drive (D4WD) for the electric vehicle (EV). Constant speed operation through cruise control is achieved using direct torque (DTC) algorithm. The redundant vectors are used in switching vector selection of DTC algorithm to achieve balanced battery currents. Fault-tolerant (FTO) demonstra...
