Abstract The development and production of electric passenger cars is actively growing all over the world. The ability to apply torque separately to each wheel or axle opens up new prospects for steering and stability control. An analysis of publications on the topic of automatic distribution of torque across the wheels of all-wheel drive electric vehicles has shown that in most cases, feedback control is used to control the torque due to the error of the sideslip angle of the car. Therefore, determining the sideslip angle is a key task when developing an automatic torque control system. Practical sideslip angle estimation algorithms must strike a balance between computational cost, low latency, and resistance to measurement errors. The aim of the work is to determine the simplest and most accurate method for assessing the sideslip angle based on the information received from the vehicle’s on-board sensors. The methods of simulation modeling and experimental processing are used. The article presents a comparison of sideslip angle estimation methods with a validated simulation model of an electric vehicle. The simulation results obtained do not help to identify the unambiguously best method for evaluating the sideslip angle of a car. For the final assessment, modeling in combination with a Kalman filter is required, and the quality of acceleration, longitudinal velocity, and yaw rate signals must also be taken into account during modeling.
Keywords sideslip angle, directional stability, torque control, yaw rate, simulation model, roll angle, simulation
