Abstract and Keywords

Abstract: For differential steering control of the distributed electric drive vehicle, an integrated feedback control strategy based on the yaw velocity and vehicle path is studied using steer-by-wire (SBW) mechanism as steering actuator. Through the co-simulation of MATLAB/Simulink and CarSim, the sliding mode controller and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) are designed, and four wheels torques are redistributed. A reasonable additional front wheel angle is determined to ensure the driving stability of the vehicle. To prove the validity of the control strategy, the simulation is conducted under typical working conditions. The simulation results show that under the integrated control strategy of the sliding mode controller based on yaw velocity and the path tracking controller based on path acquisition, the error between actual yaw velocity and ideal yaw velocity decreases greatly, and the error between vehicle path and expected path is controlled effectively, compared with the traditional sliding mode controller based on yaw velocity and sideslip angle.

Keywords: differential steering; vehicle stability; torque distribution; path tracking; integrated feedback control; distributed electric drive vehicle
