description In order to improve the driving stability of distributed-drive intelligent electric vehicles under different roadway attachment conditions, this paper proposes a multi-parameter control algorithm based on the estimation of road adhesion coefficients. First, a seven-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) vehicle dynamics model is established and optimized with a layered control strategy. The upper-level control module calculates the desired yaw rate and sideslip angle using the two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) vehicle model and estimates the road adhesion coefficient by using the singular-value optimized cubature Kalman filtering (CKF) algorithm; the middle-level utilizes the second-order sliding mode controller (SOSMC) as a direct yaw moment controller in order to track the desired yaw rate and sideslip angle while also employing a joint distribution algorithm to control the torque distribution based on vehicle stability parameters, thereby enhancing system robustness; and the lower-level controller performs optimal torque allocation based on the optimal tire loading rate as the objective. A Speedgoat-CarSim hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform was established, and typical driving scenarios were simulated to assess the stability and accuracy of the proposed control algorithm. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly enhances vehicle-handling stability across both high- and low-adhesion road conditions.
