Abstract

An intelligent coordinated control system is designed for the active steering and the left/right traction force distribution control of 2-wheel-drive and 2-wheel-steering (2WD/2WS) electric vehicles, where input-output linearization is employed. Also, a fuzzy-rule-based cornering force estimator is suggested to avoid using an uncertain highly nonlinear expression, and a neural network compensator is additionally utilized for the estimator to correctly find cornering force. With these techniques, the proposed control system is shown by simulation results to be robust against drastic change of the external environments such as road conditions
