Direct yaw moment control and state observer design for four in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles based on super-twisting algorithm

In order to improve the handling stability for four in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles (4IWMD EVs), a novel direct yaw moment control (DYC) strategy is proposed in this paper. To begin with, the problem formulation is stated by considering modeling errors and external disturbance. To obtain direct yaw moment output, a direct yaw moment controller is given by using conventional sliding mode theory at first. In order to deal with large gains of sign function, which brings severe chattering problem in conventional first-order sling mode (FOSM) control, an improved adaptive second-order sliding mode control strategy is proposed based on super-twisting algorithm (STA) to estimate vehicle model errors and external lumped disturbance. In addition, taking the cost problem in practice into account, an integral sliding mode observer (ISMO) is constructed to estimate and calculate the actual values of sideslip angle indirectly on the basis of STA. Furthermore, a composite control strategy is proposed according to stability analysis, combining adaptive second-order sliding mode controller with ISMO. Eventually, comparative simulations are conducted in Carsim and Simulink. The results show that proposed control strategy can achieve superior tracking performance under the premise of tackling chattering phenomenon, and the response curves are smoother. Meanwhile, the influence of uncertain disturbance proves to be weakened significantly with STA-based scheme while performances of other control strategies are seriously affected, which verifies the robustness and effectiveness of proposed control strategy.
