Multi-step torque distribution for an over-actuated electric vehicle

International Journal of Vehicle Design, 2020
The over-actuated electric vehicle can flexibly adjust the torque of four wheels, to improve operational efficiency and vehicle motion performance. A multi-step torque distribution strategy is proposed, which can comprehensively consider the energy optimisation, vehicle stability and actuator dynamics, and realise the comprehensive control of ...
