Abstract

This paper investigates the skid steering of four-wheel independent-drive (4WID) electric vehicles (EV) and a differential steering of a 4WID EV with a steer-by-wire (SBW) system in case of steering failure. The dynamic models of skid steering vehicle (SSV) and differential steering vehicle (DSV) are established and the traditional front-wheel steering vehicle with neutral steering characteristics is selected as the reference model. On this basis, sideslip angle observer and two different sliding mode variable structure controllers for SSV and DSV are designed respectively. Co-simulation results of CarSim and Simulink show that the designed controller for DSV not only controls the yaw rate and sideslip angle of DSV to track those of the reference model exactly, but also ensures the robustness of the controlled system compared with the designed controller for SSV. And the differential driving torque needed to realize the differential steering is much smaller than that for skid steering, which indicates the possibility of the differential steering in case of steering failure.
