A fuzzy control system for the direct yaw moment of four-wheel drive electric vehicles is proposed to improve vehicle's steering stability. The upper layer of the controller is a fuzzy PI controller
and uses the deviation between actual value and reference of side slip angle and yaw rate to calculate the desired yaw moment. The lower layer of the controller effectively distributes the required yaw moment to each wheel following fuzzy logic rules based on the contribution of each wheel to the yaw moment and the driving limit of the vehicle. Moreover
the control algorithm is rapidly developed and verified in V mode: a vehicle model with the proposed control system is established and downloaded into the AD5435 simulator to conduct a hardware-in-the-loop test. Simulation results show that the proposed control system can effectively improve vehicle's handling and stability in different situations
and that the control algorithm is feasible and effective.
