Abstract :
We present a non-linear model of a small three wheeled electric car with one rear wheel and two front steered wheels. Each wheel is actuated by a permanent magnet synchronous in-wheel motor. The model was created for development and testing of advanced control algorithms for increasing the car´s performance and safety. It includes models of electric motor, non-linear tire-road characteristics, longitudinal and lateral dynamics, a realistic suspension system and the option to influence car´s weight and its distribution.
