Abstract
In this paper, an intelligent distributed drive electric vehicle is used as the research object. The research aims to solve the problem of path-tracking control of intelligent vehicles when the single-side in-wheel motor of the front axle fails. A fault-tolerant control method based on sliding mode observer is proposed. Firstly, an overall vehicle dynamics model considering the failure factor is established, and the failure of the in-wheel motor is monitored by the sliding mode observer. Torque coordination compensation control is activated according to the observed failure. The control system mainly consists of two parts: the torque-coordinated lateral stability controller and the prediction fault tolerant deviation compensation controller. The torque-coordinated lateral stability controller controls the torque of the other wheels to balance the front wheel torque, and the prediction tolerant deviation compensation controller uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control the front wheel angle and rear wheel torque of the vehicle to reduce the lateral deviation. Finally, under double-lane change conditions, dynamics simulations and hardware-in-loop experiments are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
