Vehicle stabilizing control using small EV powered only by ultra capacitor

This paper presents the novel electric vehicle powered only by "electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC)" and the vehicle motion control using this vehicle. This vehicle provides easy experiment of electric vehicle motion control, since capacitor has the peculiar characteristic of large current charging. In this paper, the driving experimental data are shown first and capacitance monitoring system is proposed in the second section. The development of "capacitor COMS" (C-COMS) and the vehicle control system are shown in the third section. In the last section, various kinds of vehicle motion controls utilizing advantages of electric motor are listed up and the simulation result of normal force stabilizing control is given
