A Survey of Traction Control and Antilock Braking Systems of Full Electric Vehicles With Individually Controlled Electric Motors

Wheel slip control for ground vehicles with individually controlled electric motors can be realized with strategies that can significantly differ from the conventional antilock braking system (ABS) and traction control (TC) system. This paper provides a review of state-of-the-art technology and recent developments in TC and ABSs using the actuation of electric motors. Particular attention is paid to the realization of slip estimators, the formalization of torque demand, and the control methods applied for the implementation of TC and ABSs. The performed analysis allowed for the differentiation of several most elaborated methods for slip and torque control and defining still imperfectly investigated problems to be covered by the further development of TC and ABSs for full electric vehicles.
