Future motion control to be realized by in-wheel motored electric vehicle

This paper discusses novel motion control strategies for in-wheel motored electric vehicle (EV), including 2-DOF control, dynamic optimal traction force distribution control and direct yaw moment control (DYC). Two electric vehicles, "UOT March II" and "COLT EV", are used for experiments. The control algorithms are verified by simulations and experiments, which show that the control strategies are efficient and effective.
