This paper develops a control-oriented drivability model for an electric vehicle. First, we establish a discrete-time nonlinear input-output mechanism model through investigating the longitudinal dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. Second, we use the least squares method to identify the model parameters based on the data obtained from a real electric vehicle. The model is built in Simulink and its accuracy is validated by CRUISE. The calibration results demonstrate that the identified model is capable of predicting longitudinal vehicle responses that affect drivability and useful in control algorithm design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
