Constrained integral fuzzy sliding mode control for an electric vehicle: An LMI-based approach

Abstract

This study investigates the issue of stability analysis and controller synthesis for an electric vehicle based on the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy control approach. The proposed adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode controller ensures that the electric vehicle system performs satisfactorily in the presence of uncertainties and exogenous disturbances, comprising low computational load, small control input amplitude, and reduced energy consumption. For efficient performance of the electric vehicle, the battery voltage (control input) and the vehicle’s speed (system output) are considered restricted. Simulations of an electric vehicle powered by a brushed direct current motor are utilized to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed controller. Ultimately, the design procedure validates the robust performance and fast stabilization of the electric vehicle speed in the presence of exogenous disturbances and parametric uncertainties.
