Research on Stability Control of Distributed Drive Vehicle with Four-Wheel Steering
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- A control method for the joint control of wheel torque and angle is proposed to improve vehicle stability based on the distributed drive vehicle with drive-by-wire four-wheel steering.
- The mathematical modeling of a four-wheel steering vehicle is established, and proportional feedforward and PID (proportional-integral-derivative control) feedback control is carried out on the yaw rate with the side slip angle of the center of mass as the control objective. Additionally, torque distribution is achieved through the fuzzy control method.
- The angle and torque control strategy is simulated through Matlab/Simulink (R2019b) and Carsim (2020.0) co-simulation analysis to verify its effectiveness.
