Abstract This paper presents a new Sliding Mode Control (SMC) method based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for the slip suppression of EVs. The proposed method focusses on improving the acceleration performance and low energy consumption of EVs by controlling the slip ratio of wheel under driving. In this paper, the extended SMC method is proposed to improve the control performance ...

Control of vehicle traction is of utmost importance in providing safety and obtaining desired vehicle motion in longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. Vehicle traction control systems can be designed to satisfy various objectives of a single vehicle system or a platoon of vehicles in an automated highway system, which include assuring ride quality and passenger comfort. Other objectives are ...

Surface mobility using wheeled mobile robots (Rovers) is one of the important technologies for lunar/planetary exploration missions. The rover in these missions significantly expands the exploration area and thus increases the scientific or programmatic return from the mission. These planetary exploration rovers are expected to travel long distances and perform complex tasks in order to fulfill...

It is a very challenging task to measure longitudinal slip of a tire on road surface in normal driving conditions, because of the very small value of the slip (a few 1/1000). This paper presents an industrially deployable method for Tire-Road Friction (TRF) monitoring applied to passenger vehicle. This method estimates the longitudinal wheel slip κ and the normalized friction coefficient μ, for...

In order to study passing ability of lunar rover in lunar soil, the mechanical parameters between lunar wheel and lunar soil should be analyzed. The mechanical parameters can reflect the mechanical relationship between lunar rover wheel and regolith. These parameters include sinkage, drawbar pull, driving torque, motion resistance and slip. In this paper, these parameters are measured by soil b...

This paper, proposes a methodology to implement a suitable nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller associated with the output feedback control to achieve a successful trajectory tracking of a non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot in presence of longitudinal and lateral slip accompanied. This implementation offers a relatively faster and high precision tracking performance. We investigate this...
