Abstract

This work presents a design and simulation of electric vehicle driver control. A driver controller is responsible of generating suitable values of control inputs that ensures accurate vehicle trajectory tracking. A good driver controller is needed to study vehicle motion and comfort, energy consumption, electronic stability control, electronic brake force distribution, antilock braking system, suspension system, etc. In this paper, simple PID controllers are designed, tuned and simulated. Simulations results show accurate trajectory tracking of an electric vehicle.
