Abstract
This study developed a control algorithm of torque vectoring system to improve the handling performance of a green-car and evaluate the performance of vehicle dynamics to improve the controllability and stability. Firstly, this study configured the control algorithm with the supervisory controller that decides the control mode by checking the current driving status of a vehicle, target yawrate calculator that reflects the steady-state and transient-state response characteristics according to the control mode, as well as the reference yawrate calculation, desired yaw moment calculation and transferred torque calculation. The control mode consists of the agile mode that controls the torque vectoring to improve the controllability and the safe mode that controls the torque vectoring to improve stability. Secondly, this study performed the modeling of the dual motor type torque vectoring system and an EV AWD vehicle. Lastly, this study defined the driving test scenario and evaluation method as well as the quantitative performance index for each vehicle test and established the co-simulation environment for the handling test evaluation. This study found that when a vehicle is controlled by applying the torque vectoring system, handling performance was improved according to controllability and safe mode by verifying the simulation.
