Abstract

In this paper, an optimal longitudinal slip ratio system for real-time identification of electric vehicle (EV) with motored wheels is proposed based on the adhesion between tire and road surface. First and foremost, the optimal longitudinal slip rate torque control can be identified in real time by calculating the derivative and slip rate of the adhesion coefficient. Secondly, the vehicle speed estimation method is also brought. Thirdly, an ideal vehicle simulation model is proposed to verify the algorithm with simulation, and we find that the slip ratio corresponds to the detection of the adhesion limit in real time. Finally, the proposed strategy is applied to traction control system (TCS). The results showed that the method can effectively identify the state of wheel and calculate the optimal slip ratio without wheel speed sensor; in the meantime, it can improve the accelerated stability of electric vehicle with traction control system (TCS).

Highlights

  • CONVENTIONAL internal combustion engine (ICE)-driven vehicles have incurred tremendous fossil fuel consumption, carbon footprint, and poisonous tailpipe emissions [1]

  • Torque control of electric motor via current gives the advantage of simplicity and fast response over the complicated torque control of an internal combustion engine which may depend on several parameters ranging from fuel valve angle to gas pedal position and several delay factors [5]

  • For decelerating wheels: 1. When the wheel is running in a non-stable state, this time s > s0, the adhesion coefficient increases with time and the slip ratio decreases with time

Summary

1.Introduction

CONVENTIONAL internal combustion engine (ICE)-driven vehicles have incurred tremendous fossil fuel consumption, carbon footprint, and poisonous tailpipe emissions [1]. The optimal slip ratio is defined by the value corresponding to the peak friction factor between the road and tire It is the key technology for estimating road adhesion in real time for vehicle chassis control systems [4, 22]. The Euler approximation theory and the least square algorithm are used to determine the generalized braking stiffness of the zero position, which is used to determine the sliding state These methods are difficult to apply to the real car for several reasons including timeliness, accuracy of recognition and cost. Li et al proposed a comprehensive tire-road friction coefficient estimation method which is based on signal fusion method under complex maneuvering operations inclusive of braking, driving and steering This method is relatively timely and accurate to satisfy the control demands [22].
