Abstract:
This work evaluates the intrinsic contribution of the yaw rate reference to the overall handling
performance of an electric vehicle with torque vectoring control - in terms of minimum-time
manoeuvring. A range of yaw rate references are compared through optimal control simulations
incorporating closed-loop controller dynamics. Results show yaw rate reference has a significant
effect on manoeuvre time.
