Abstract

Four-wheel-drive electric vehicles with multiple motors have several advantages such as energy saving, environmental protection, and excellent dynamics performance. Therefore, they have become an important development trend in the field of electric vehicles in the past few years. To deal with the problems of the economy and dynamics optimization of an electric vehicle with dual motors on the front axle and a single motor on the rear axle, a multi-mode drive optimization control strategy based on the hierarchical control architecture is proposed in this paper. In the strategy, the reference torque distribution strategy of the front and rear motors is obtained by optimizing the instantaneous energy consumption power in the economy module, and a torque compensation strategy is formulated based on the fuzzy control in the dynamics module to improve the vehicle dynamics in high dynamics demand conditions. Finally, the closed-loop cycle test and the driver-in-the-loop test are carried out to verify the performance of the strategy proposed in this paper, and the results show that energy consumption is reduced by 6.45% in the World Harmonized Light-duty Vehicles Test Cycle (WLTC), and that vehicles accelerate more quickly in variable acceleration conditions under the proposed strategy.
