Dynamic motion stabilization for front wheel drive in wheel motor electric vehicles
This article presents a new dynamic motion stabilization approach to front wheel drive in wheel motor electric vehicles. The approach includes functions such as traction control system, electronic differential system, and electronic stability control. The presented electric vehicle was endowed with anti skid performance in longitudinal accelerated start; smooth turning with less tire scrubbing; and safe driving experience in two dimensional steering. The analysis of the presented system is given in numerical derivations. For practical verifications, this article employed a hands on electric vehicle named Corsa electric vehicle to carry out the tests. The presented approach contains an integrated scheme which can achieve the mentioned functions in a single microprocessor. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of the presented methodology.
