Acceleration Slip Regulation Control Method for Distributed Electric Drive Vehicles under Icy and Snowy Road Conditions

Abstract

To achieve a rapid and stable dynamic response of the drive anti-slip system for distributed electric vehicles on low-friction surfaces, this paper proposes an adaptive acceleration slip regulation control strategy based on wheel slip rate. An attachment coefficient fusion estimation algorithm based on an improved singular value decomposition unscented Kalman filter is designed. This algorithm combines Sage–Husa with the unscented Kalman filter for adaptive improvement, allowing for the quick and accurate determination of the road friction coefficient and, subsequently, the optimal slip rate. Additionally, a slip rate control strategy based on dynamic adaptive compensation sliding mode control is designed, which introduces a dynamic weight integral function into the control rate to adaptively adjust the integral effect based on errors, with its stability proven. To verify the performance of the road estimator and slip rate controller, a model is built with vehicle simulation software, and simulations are conducted. The results show that under icy and snowy road conditions, the designed estimator can reduce estimation errors and respond rapidly to sudden changes. Compared to traditional equivalent controllers, the designed controller can effectively reduce chattering, decrease overshoot, and shorten response time. Especially during road transitions, the designed controller demonstrates better dynamic performance and stability.
