The Method for Torque Distribution of In-Wheel Motor Driving Vehicle Aiming to Save Energy

Abstract:

A new method of torque distribution of in-wheel motor driving vehicle aiming to save energy was introduced. For the method, the optimal goal is the wheel slip power which is the product of longitudinal force and the slip speed.The constraint equation is the vehicle motion equation. The optimal variable is the wheel rotating speed. The optimal model was established by using ModeFrontier. It showed the distribution method decreased the wheel slip power and the driving efficiency was enhanced under the condition of straight-line and cornering running. The work provides a new energy-saving idea for in-wheel motor driving vehicle.
