“…with torque-devices or with 2 WIMs), the allocation is relatively straightforward to perform because there is a one-to-one mapping between the yaw-moment and the force difference in the axle's wheels. [8,12,17] On the other hand, if 4 WIMs are present there is redundancy in the moment generation, which can be explored to minimise the energy consumption [1,15] or the friction use of the tyres, [18,19] through the use of optimisation-based techniques. In both cases, the torque allocation must also take into account the saturation of the power train actuators, such as the limited torque range and torque rates of the WIMs and friction brakes, and handle the friction limits of the tyres, e.g.…”

The coordinated control of vehicle actuators is gaining more and more importance as new platforms are becoming available, with chassis endowed with many different actuators that may help controlling the vehicle motion. Furthermore, wheel individual motors allow using a single system to apply both positive and negative torques at the wheels, which can be actuated independently one from the other. In electric vehicles (EVs), moreover, such a freedom in the actuation mechanisms opens the way to the combined optimisation of performance and energy consumption issues. In this paper, the problem of minimum-time manoeuvring in EVs is addressed, and the proposed strategy is compared against a benchmark, a-causal optimal solution showing that only a negligible loss of performance is experienced.

“…Several prior types of research have investigated the technology of steering or assisting steering by driving forces [6]. Francis Hooter and Meldrum firstly named skidsteering of wheeled combat vehicles as differential torque steer [7], but the critical point is that the combat vehicle does not have a steerable wheel for space-saving [8], so it is still skid-steering. Li et al proposed a measure of assist steering [6] based on integrated steering and traction/braking system.…”

In this paper, a novel hybrid vehicle chassis is designed without assisted steering system and its kinematics model, dynamics model as well as a model of the control system. The existing steering mechanism does not provide enough torque or has a shortage of mechanical strength and control. The proposed design has the capability to solve these problems easily. In the first part of this study, the design and development of the vehicle are introduced. After that, a new 4-wheel-drive (4WD) hybrid vehicle chassis including a vehicle platform, a control device, and self-steering mechanism is designed. Its kinematics and dynamics models are built. Furthermore, to optimize the control model and linkage are added between the front and rear bodies. In addition, the new hybrid vehicle chassis has been tested in actual driving. The reliability and feasibility of the vehicle are evaluated by UG software. The open-loop simulation for validation is performed by MATLAB. Finally, traditional proportion-integration-differentiation (PID) control system of the improved model of vehicle chassis is presented. Therein, the PID feedback control loop was employed to track the reference torque of 4-independent wheels. The results are verified using the real-time vehicle. The proposed design is proved feasibility not only has a small turning radius but also has a high control precision, which ensures the flexibility of the vehicle and can control the direction as well. In addition, the proposed design is best for modern agricultural vehicle and can be implemented in commercial and private vehicles.

“…[2] present a method for designing an active roll control system, combined with integrated chassis control for hybrid four-wheel-drive vehicles: weighted pseudoinverse-based control allocation and simulation-based optimization are proposed to distribute the control yaw moment. A combination of active front steering with rear torque vectoring actuators in an integrated controller is investigated by Bianchi et al [3] for vehicle stability and trajectory tracking. An adaptive feedback technique has been used to design the controller.…”

This paper deals with improving comfort and handling for a ground vehicle through the coordinated control of different active systems available in passenger cars, e.g., electronic stability control, active roll control and engine torque control. The authors first describe separate control systems, each with its logic, showing advantages and limits, then propose various possible integrations, aiming at exploiting the benefits of a coordinated approach. Finally, the proposed control logics are tested on a vehicle model: simulation results prove the effectiveness of the approach in improving vehicle response during typical handling maneuvers.
