Optimization of Brake Feedback Efficiency for Small Pure Electric Vehicles Based on Multiple Constraints

Abstract

An efficient and stable braking feedback scheme is one of the key technologies to improve the endurance performance of pure electric vehicles. In this study, four constraint conditions for different braking feedback schemes were clearly defined, and tests and simulation analysis were carried out based on “the relationship between rear-drive feedback efficiency and vehicle configuration conditions” and “the relationship between front-drive feedback efficiency and braking efficiency”. The results show that for rear-driving, the RSF2 scheme with low dependence on the constraint conditions of tramping characteristics is the comprehensive optimal scheme under the condition of decoupling control constraints, and the mileage improvement rate reaches 29.2%. For front driving, the FSF1A scheme is the comprehensive optimal scheme considering both braking efficiency and feedback efficiency, and the mileage improvement rate reaches 35.8%. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed braking feedback scheme is proved using the drum test under cyclic conditions, and the research results provide a theoretical basis for the optimization of braking feedback energy efficiency of small pure electric vehicles.
