This paper presents an optimum tire force distribution method for 6WD/6WS(6-Wheel-Drive and 6-Wheel-Steering) electric vehicles. Using an independent steering and driving system, the performance of 6WD/6WS vehicles can be improved, as, for example, with respect to their maneuverability under low speed and their stability at high speed. Therefore, there should be a control strategy for finding the optimum tire forces that satisfy the driver's command and minimize energy consumption. From the driver's commands (steering angle and accelerator/brake pedal stroke), the desired yaw moment, the desired lateral force, and the desired longitudinal force were obtained. These three values were distributed to each wheel as the torque and the steering angle, based on the optimum tire force distribution method. The optimum tire force distribution method finds the longitudinal/lateral tire forces of each wheel that minimize the cost function, which is the sum of the normalized tire forces. Next, the longitudinal/lateral tire forces of each wheel are converted into the reference torque inputs and the steering wheel angle inputs. The proposed method was tested through a simulation, and its effectiveness was verified.

본 다축 차량은 험지와 야전에서 높은 이동성 때문에 비포장도로를 주행해야 하는 군용차량으로 사용된다. 특히 군용차량은 군 요구 사항에 의거 기본적으로 60% 경사로에서 안정적인 등판 성능을 지녀야 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법을 통한 6WD/6WS차량의 등판능력 향상을 다루었다. 경사로 등판 시 사용할 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법을 위하여 운전자로부터, 목표로 하는 종 방향 힘과 횡 방향 힘, 요 모멘트를 계산하였고, 마찰 원이론과 목적함수에 따른 최적화 된 토크가 각 륜에 분배되었다. 알고리즘 성능을 확인하기 위해서, 트럭심 소프트웨어를 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였고, 비교를 위하여 2대의 차량을 제안하였다. 한 대의 차량은 최적타이어 힘 분배 방법이 적용되었고, 나머지 한 대는 궤도 차량과 같은 균등 힘 분배 방법이 적용되었다. 경사로에서 등판능력은 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법에 의해서 향상 되어졌다.

Multi-axle driving vehicles that are used in special environments require high driving performance, steering performance, and stability. Among these vehicles, 6WS/6WD vehicles with middle wheels have structural safety by distributing the load and reducing the pitch angle during rapid acceleration and braking. 6WS/6WD vehicles are favored for military use in off road operations because of their high maneuverability and mobility on extreme terrains and obstacles. 6WD vehicles that using in-wheel motor can generate the independent wheel torque without other mechanical parts. Conventional vehicles, however, cannot generate an opposite driving force at each side wheel. Using an independent steering and driving system, six-wheel vehicles can show better performance than conventional vehicles. Using of independent steering and driving system, the 6 wheel vehicle can improve a performance better than conventional vehicle. This vehicle enhances the maneuverability under low speed and the stability at high speed. This paper describes an independent 6WS/6WD vehicle, consists of three parts; Vehicle Model, Control Algorithm for 6WS/6WD and Simulation. First, vehicle model is application of TruckSim software for 6WS and 6WD. Second, control algorithm describes the optimum tire force distribution method in view of energy saving. Last is simulation and verification.

본 논문에서는 능동 전륜 조향장치(AFS)에 의한 횡력의 크기가 제한된 상황에서 자세 제어장치(ESC)와 능동 전륜 조향(AFS)을 이용한 통합 새시 제어기의 최적 요모멘트 분배 방법을 제안한다. 차량을 안정화시키는데 필요한 제어 요모멘트는 슬라이딩모드 제어이론을 이용하여 구한다. 가중 역행렬 기반 제어 할당 방법을 이용하여 제어 요모멘트를 ESC의 제동력과 AFS의 추가 조향각으로 분배한다. 저마찰 노면에서 AFS에 의한 횡력이 물리적 최대값을 초과하는 경우 제어 요모멘트를 제대로 만들어내지 못하므로 가중 역행렬 기반 제어 할당 방법을 이용하여 AFS에 의한 횡력의 크기를 제한하고 ESC의 제동력으로 부족한 제어 요모멘트를 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 차량 시뮬레이션 패키지인 $CarSim^{(R)}$에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 AFS에 의한 횡력이 물리적 최대값을 초과하는 경우 제안된 방법이 차량의 조종 안정성과 횡방향 안정성을 향상시킨다는 사실을 검증했다.

With the recent advancement of control method and battery technology, the electric vehicle have been researched to replace the conventional vehicle with electric vehicle with the view point of the environmental concerns and energy conservation. An electric vehicle which is equipped with the independent front steering system and in-wheel motors has advantage in terms of control. For example, the different torque which generated by left and right wheels directly can make yaw moment and the independent steering using outer wheel control is able to reduce the sideslip angle. Using of independent steering and driving system, the 4 wheel electric vehicle can improve a performance better than conventional vehicle. In this paper, we consider the method for improving the cornering performance of independent front steering system and in-wheel motor used electric vehicle with the compensated outer wheel angle and direct yaw moment control. Simulation results show that the method can improve the cornering performance of 4 wheel electric vehicle. We also apply the steering motor failure to steer the vehicle turned by the torque difference without steering. This paper describes an independent front steering and driving, consist of three parts; Vehicle Model, Control Algorithm for independent steering and driving and simulation. First, vehicle model is application of TruckSim software for independent front steering and 4 wheel driving. Second, control algorithm describes the reduced sideslip and direct yaw moment method in view of cornering performance. Last is simulation and verification.
