Abstract
As is known to all, the structure of the chassis has been greatly
simplified as the application of in-wheel motor in electric vehicle
(EV) and distributed control is allowed. The micro EV can alleviate
traffic jams, reduce the demand for motor and battery capacity due to its small size and light weight and accordingly solve the problem that
in-wheel motor is limited by inner space of the wheel hub. As a
result, this type of micro EV is easier to be recognized by the market.
In the micro EV above, two seats are side by side and the battery is
placed in the middle of the chassis. Besides, in-wheel motors are mounted on the rear axle and only front axle retains traditional
hydraulic braking system. Based on this driving/braking system,
distribution of braking torque, system reliability and braking intensity is analyzed in this paper. In order to coordinate with traditional
hydraulic ABS control to ensure the braking stability of the vehicle,
model following control (MFC) is adopted to fully utilize the fast and accurate torque response of motor for slip prevention and control
effect influenced by characteristics of motor is analyzed. In
conclusion, only simple and minor changes have been made to the braking system of traditional vehicle which makes the micro EV cost
less and easier to popularize.
Introduction
With the challenges of energy and environment crisis, EV is
developing rapidly due to its advantages of high efficiency and zeros
emission. However, driving range is limited and price is high when
compared with traditional vehicles which are considered as an obstacle to development of EV . As a result, micro EV is born with the
advantage of narrow and lightweight body which not only costs less,
but also leads to less traffic jam. Nowadays, many automobile manufacturers and research institutes have carried out various research
and development of micro EV . Figure 1 shows some micro EVs
developed by automobile manufacturers at home and abroad. It can be
easily seen that curb mass is lighter and max speed is lower of EVs promoted by domestic automobile manufacturers when compared with that developed by foreign automobile manufacturers. That’s to say, EV
which has low speed and small size is more popular in China.

On the other hand, compared with traditional central driven EV , some
mechanical transmission parts are abandoned in EV driven by the
in-wheel motor. As a result, mechanical loss is largely reduced and
the structure of vehicle chassis is simplified. Besides, the driving/
braking torque of every electric wheel can be controlled quickly ,
accurately and independently, which makes the dynamic control of
vehicle more flexible and thus improving the performance of vehicle. In-wheel motor is accordingly regarded as the future driving scheme
of vehicle [ 1, 2].
In this paper, a micro EV is developed with two seats side by side. When it comes to current technology of in-wheel motor, it can well
meet the requirements of this micro EV . To make full advantage of its driving performance, in-wheel motors are adopted on the rear axle.
Traditional hydraulic braking system is only mounted on the front
axle which not only provides most of the braking torque, but also makes the structure of electric wheel simplified. In order to
coordinate electric-hydraulic braking torque to ensure the braking
performance of the vehicle, MFC is adopted to fully utilize the fast and accurate torque response of motor which not only improves
anti-lock braking control effect of hybrid braking system, but also
recycles part of the braking energy.Design and Research of Micro EV Driven by In-Wheel
