Abstract

Differential steering based on the tire cornering characteristics is applicable to large-radius curves. This paper presents a model of an independently driven four wheel electric vehicle. The state-space equation for the differential steering system is used to analyze the stability and controllability and to analyze the factors influencing the steering ability. A steady-state steering torque model is used in a control method based on fuzzy inference feedforward compensation. Simulations show that the control algorithm not only improves the system response time but is also adaptable to different steering needs at different speeds.

Key words
