Abstract

Electric vehicles with the wheels individually driven by e-motors have promising potential for improving performance through finer control over the power distribution among the wheels. Due to the absence of a mechanical driveline to connect the wheels to the transmission and engine, the virtual driveline system (VDS) is proposed as a conceptual framework to connect virtually the individual electric motors and, thus, to optimize and analyze the dynamics and performance of vehicles. Conceptually, the VDS is based on vehicle-generalized parameters (VGP), which are used in the VDS principle to establish relationships between VGPs and, thus, to manage the wheel power split and set up interactive/coordinated controls of the e-motors to optimize and improve energy efficiency, terrain mobility performance, maneuver, etc.
