Linear Programming Control for Hybrid 8-wheel-drive Vehicle

Abstract

For armored vehicle, the 0-32km/h and 0-60km/h acceleration time is a key tactical and technical driving performance index. In order to improve the driving performance of a hybrid 8-wheel-drive vehicle, the control method was proposed. The method uses linear programming to follow the demand driving torque so as to decrease the acceleration time and minimize the additional yaw moment so as to improve the handling performance. In order to verify the method, a simulation platform of 11 DOFs was built. The simulation results show that 0-32km/h and 60km/h acceleration time was decreased by 30% and 13% which is a significant improvement compared to the common level of main battle armored vehicle.
