Reliable Integrated ASC and DYC Control of All-Wheel-Independent-Drive Electric Vehicles Over CAN Using a Co-Design Methodology

Abstract

This paper deals with the negative effects of the in-vehicle network on the integrated anti-slip control (ASC) and direct yaw-moment control (DYC) of all-wheel-independent-drive electric vehicles (AWID-EVs). In the integrated control design of the modern AWID-EVs, increasing control components, e.g., sensors, controllers, and actuators, are usually connected via an in-vehicle network, such as a controller area network (CAN), rather than the traditional point-to-point communication. However, the application of CAN would also bring about unexpected problems, e.g., signal asynchrony, multiple-package transmission, and signal delay, which may degrade the control performance and even destroy the stability of the system. This paper presents a co-design methodology to deal with all these challenges caused by CAN and guarantees a satisfactory vehicle dynamics performance. First, a hierarchical structure is designed for the integrated ASC and DYC control of AWID-EVs over CAN, and an active torque distribution strategy based on a well-known maximum transmissible torque estimation approach is adopted. Then, a scheduling-based communication idea is introduced to deal with all these problems caused by CAN. Third, a Lyapunov-based pole assignment theory is applied to estimate the parameter values in the scheduling design and to guarantee the satisfactory dynamic performance of the control system. A generalized linear quadratic regulator controller is designed for the system synthesis to ensure the tracking control of the vehicle. Finally, simulations and preliminary hardware-in-loop tests indicate that the proposed co-design methodology can deal with the negative effects of the in-vehicle network and ensure reliable vehicle dynamics performance.INDEX TERMS All-wheel-independent-drive electric vehicle (AWID-EV), anti-slip control (ASC), direct yaw-moment control (DYC), co-design of scheduling and control, controller area network (CAN).

A novel robust event‐triggered fault tolerant automatic steering control approach of autonomous land vehicles under in‐vehicle network delay

“…Thus, the CAV function V 0 (̃(t)) is differentiable wheñ(t) = 0. Now, we are in the position to present for stability analysis and automatic steering controller synthesis of the system (25). The results are summarized in the following two theorems.…”

“…With more actuators, sensors and control subsystems than the ones equipped in traditional vehicles, the ALVs would easily encounter the network-induced delay caused by the in-vehicle network bandwidth limit during the information transmissions. 25 The network-induced delay between controllers, sensors, and actuators could degrade the control performance of the whole system or even cause the system instability. To handle the time-delay problem, many well-studied theoretical methods and synthesis methods have been reported in Reference 26.…”
