Abstract
- Using a special type of sliding mode controller, a new type of traction control system (TCS) for hybrid four-wheel drive vehicles is developed. This paper makes two major contributions. First, a new electric powertrain architecture with an in-wheel motor at the front wheels and a clutch on the rear of the transmission is proposed for maximum traction force. The in-wheel motors are controlled to cycle near the optimal slip point. Based on the cycling patterns of the front wheels, the desired wheel speed for rear wheel is defined. The rear wheels are controlled to track this defined speed by controlling the clutch torque. Unlike conventional TCS algorithms, the proposed method exploits clutch control instead of brake control. Second, a special type of sliding mode controller which uses a nonlinear characteristic of the tire is proposed. An important distinction between the proposed sliding mode control method and other conventional feedback controllers is that the former does not depend on feedback error but provides the same functionality. Therefore, the practical aspects are emphasized in this paper. The developed method is confirmed in simulations, and the results reveal that the proposed method opens up opportunities for new types of TCS.
