Development and Testing of Four-Wheel Drive In-Wheel-Motor Electric Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the development of a full electric vehicle prototype with a new generation of drive-by-wire chassis, which consists of a four independently actuated in-wheel-motor drive system, an electric power steering (EPS) system, an electro-hydraulic brake (EHB) system and a lithium battery energy storage system. This novel electric vehicle called I2EV (I2 stands for Intelligent and In-wheel-motor) is designed and tested on a chassis dynamometer to study its performance. Then the road performance of the vehicle is verified through road experiments. These tests clearly show that I2EVcan be employed in further study of intelligent vehicle and advanced integrated chassis control.
