Electric Vehicle Control using the Simulator ELEVES

Abstract

The new constraints in vehicle design for personal mobility are the development of a non-polluting and high safety vehicle. This is the consequence of increasing road traffic and climatic environmental problems. Like solution of these problems, the vehicle with electrical traction has been contemplated. The pollution is strongly decreased and the electric traction gives the possibility to achieve accurate and quick control of the distribution torque. This paper presents a traction control system of an electric vehicle (EV) based on the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) and its maximum control structure (MCS). The simulator ELEVES has been used to simulate the studied system. Finally, in order to validate the simulation results, a comparison between the results obtained by ELEVES and those obtained by Matlab/Simulink software tool has been included.
