Abstract

The harmful gases emitted by vehicles using oil-based fuels have been widely discussed in recent years. For this reason, in vehicle technology, a tendency has started to use vehicles with lower greenhouse gas effect engine types. Electric motor vehicles are more complex in terms of control when compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, it offers a much more comfortable use for essential needs such as cleaning, maintenance and repair. There are many studies in the literature on mathematical simulations of electronic differential system (EDS) and laboratory scale EDS trials for electric vehicles. In this study, the mathematical model of EDS for an electric vehicle, is simulated. Unlike previous studies, the mathematical model of EDS was embedded on a microprocessor and used to control a prototype electric vehicle. Real road tests were carried out with the prototype electric vehicle. Simulation and road tests were carried out under 3 different road conditions (dry, wet and slippery) and 3 different steering angles (5^o, 〖15〗^o, ve 〖25〗^o). In order to interpret the results, current and speed data of the right and left wheels on the prototype vehicle were taken in real time. The results confirm that the vehicle does not spin when turning in different road conditions.
