Abstract

As an example of a geographically distributed test environment, an integrated motion control system for multi-actuated electric vehicles has been proposed and evaluated. This system unifies three active subsystems: drive-by-wire propulsion with independent in-wheel electric motors, electro-hydraulic brake actuators, and active suspension actuators. A distributed X-in-the-loop network architecture supports the approach, integrating a real-time validated vehicle model, dedicated test benches for each subsystem, and a driving simulator located in different geographical locations. This setup enables real-time testing and validation of the integrated control strategy. Validation results show improved ride comfort and safety.
