Vehicle Stability Control of Distributed-driven Electric Vehicles Based on Optimal Torque Allocation

A hierarchical vehicle-stability-control method was presented based on the longitudinal force distribution optimization for the handling and stability control of the distributed-driven electric vehicles. The eight-degree-freedom vehicle models and the three-layer control systems were developed. By selecting the sideslip angle and the yaw rate as the state variables and introducting the virtual control to decouple two control variables，  the integral 2-DOF vehicle models were adopted to calculate the equivalent yaw moments for the vehicle stability in upper controllers. The linear quadratic regulator （LQR） method was utilized to optimize the distribution of the front and rear steering angles and the tire longitudinal forces in middle controllers. The sliding-mode-based slip controller in the lower layer was also designed to reallocate the wheel torques. Simulation results show that the control system may make full use of the adhesion potential of the tire under high speed and extreme conditions, realize the coordinated distribution of wheel torques and improve the steering stability of the vehicles. When the actuators fail, the system may reconstruct effectively and realize the reallocation of control inputs to improve the safety of the vehicles.
