Stability Study of Distributed Drive Vehicles Based on Estimation of Road Adhesion Coefficient and Multi-Parameter Control by Peng Ji, Fengrui Han, Yifan Zhao

“…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. …”
