Real-Vehicle Platform
Research Area 04
Brief
This research focuses on the development of a distributed-drive electric vehicle experimental platform for validating trajectory-tracking and stability-control algorithms under real-world conditions.
Motivation
Distributed-drive electric vehicles (DDEVs) are considered promising platforms for future autonomous vehicles. Experimental validation is essential for evaluating the practical performance and real-time feasibility of advanced vehicle-control algorithms.
Platform Capabilities
- Four-wheel-independent drive for flexible wheel-torque allocation.
- Steer-by-wire for accurate and programmable steering control.
- Active suspension for coordinated vertical and lateral dynamics control.
- Onboard sensing and real-time computation for experimental validation.
- Support for trajectory-tracking and vehicle-stability-control experiments.
- Electro-Hydraulic Brake (EHB) test for real vehicle platform (in progress…).
