A yaw stability control method for four independently in-wheel-motored electric vehicles based on distributed model predictive control( DMPC) is presented. The yaw model of the electric vehicle including vehicle body,wheel and motor dynamics is a high-order system with hard constraints of states and controls. For reducing time of online optimization,the high-order yaw model was divided into several loworder subsystems to design distributed controllers. A cooperative distributed model predictive control sche...
