Fuzzy control for speed tracking of an electrical vehicle enclosing an axial-flux synchronous motor

. The present work deals with the design of a fuzzy controller insuring speed tracking of a leisure electrical vehicle. Traction motor is an axial-flux permanent-magnet one arranged in a TORUS configuration. Firstly, all parts of the vehicle powertrain are described then analytically modelled. Further, controller membership functions are introduced and fuzzification / defuzzification rules are defined. Finally, established model is tested considering two kinds of speed instructions. It was found that studied motor satisfy speed tracking requests according to vehicle specificities.
