“…In the pioneering study in [36], Fukudome proposes a proportional controller based on the longitudinal speed difference between the unsprung and sprung masses of an EV with in-wheel motors. A control structure consisting of feedforward and feedback contributions is presented in [37], where the road input is an unknown disturbance. The controller is tuned with the longitudinal dynamics model validated in [34], and the feedback contribution includes a deadtime compensator observer to provide robustness against communications delays.…”

Road irregularities induce vertical and longitudinal vibrations of the sprung and unsprung masses, which affect vehicle comfort. While the vertical dynamics and related compensation techniques are extensively covered by the suspension control literature, the longitudinal dynamics on uneven road surfaces are less frequently addressed, and are significantly influenced by the tires and suspension systems. The relatively slow response of internal combustion engines does not allow any form of active compensation of the effect of road irregularities. However, in-wheel electric powertrains, in conjunction with pre-emptive control based on the information on the road profile ahead, have some potential for effective compensation, which, however, has not been explored yet. This paper presents a proof-of-concept nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) implementation based on road preview, which is preliminarily assessed with a simulation model of an all-wheel drive electric vehicle with in-wheel motors, including a realistic tire model for ride comfort simulation. The major improvement brought by the proposed road preview controller is evaluated through objective performance indicators along multiple maneuvers, and is confirmed by the comparison with two benchmarking feedback controllers from the literature.

“…The resonance characteristics of components such as the suspension and tyres with respect to drivetrain inputs obtained using these analysis results were then applied to design a flattening feedforward controller based on a Nyquist plot. The resulting proposal greatly expanded the controllable driving range of IWMs [73].…”

The era of the electrification of vehicle drivelines is rapidly approaching. Motors are capable of providing controls with response and accuracy two orders of magnitude greater than internal combustion engines. It is also relatively simple to design a driveline capable of independently controlling the driving force at each wheel by providing compact motors throughout the vehicle. Although the potential of such driving force distribution control in improving vehicle dynamic performance has been a serious topic of research since even before the current wave of driveline electrification, the complex mechanisms required to realise these controls have prevented mass adoption. However, it seems that these research efforts are finally reaching a stage where practical adoption might be possible. This state-of-the-art review examines the background and most recent research related to vehicle dynamics control, particularly controls that use electrical drive units, and investigates the topics of interest and trends of a wide range of researchers. Subsequently, taking into account ongoing efforts to pair vehicle dynamics controls with electrical actuators, this review also discusses a novel control architecture that depart from control design methods formulated in the past by researchers across the field, and points the way toward the future of vehicle dynamics control research.
