Using high-bandwidth direct-drive architecture for new motion control capabilities
摘要
The capabilities of high-bandwidth direct-drive in-wheel motor (IWM) technology and its potential to revolutionize vehicle dynamics are explored. Elaphe's IWM technology offers unprecedented control over longitudinal, lateral, and vertical forces, presenting a significant breakthrough in vehicle motion control. This study demonstrates the advantages of IWM architecture, particularly in improving comfort and performance metrics through active body control. The paper details the mechanisms by which IWMs enhance vehicle dynamics, including faster torque delivery and improved traction control. Additionally, the impact of IWM on vertical dynamics is evaluated, showcasing its ability to mitigate the challenges related to increased unsprung mass. Through simulation and real-world testing, the research highlights the potential for IWMs to serve as integral chassis actuators, providing both performance and comfort improvements.
