Characteristics Extraction of Vehicle State Information Based on Entropy Calculation

A method of extracting and detecting vehicle stability state characteristics based on entropy is proposed.The vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral dynamics models are established for complex driving and maneuver conditions.The corresponding state observer is designed by adopting the moving horizon estimation algorithm,which realizes the observation of the vehicle stability state considering the global state information.Meanwhile,the Shannon entropy is modified to approximate entropy,and the approximate entropy value of the observed vehicle state is calculated.Furthermore,the optimal controller is designed to further validate the reliability of the entropy value as the reference of control system.Simulation results demonstrate that this method can quickly detect the instability state of the system during the process of vehicle driving,which provides a reference for risk prediction and active control.

Optimum Driving System Design for Dual-Motor Pure Electric Vehicles

A pure electric vehicle driven by dual motors is taken as the research object and the driving scheme of the driving motor is improved to increase the transmission efficiency of existing electric vehicles.Based on the architecture of the transmission system,we propose vehicle performance parameters and performance indexes of a pure electric vehicle,a time-sharing driving strategy of dual motors.First,the parameters of the battery,motor,and transmission system are matched.Then,the electric vehicle transmission model is built in Amesim and the control strategy is designed in Simulink.With the optimization goal of improving the vehicle’s dynamic performance and driving range,the optimal parameters are determined through analysis.Finally,the characteristics of the motor are tested on the bench.The results show that the energy-saving potential of the timesharing driven double motor is higher,and the driving mileage of the double motor drive is increased by 4%.
