Driving torque control method for electric vehicle with in‐wheel motors

AbstractAntislip control or slip ratio control can help improve the stability of EVs on a low‐μ road. However, these control methods cannot control the driving torque. In this paper we propose a driving torque control method for EVs with in‐wheel motors. By using this method we can control the driving torque directly. Simulations and experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
