description This paper introduced a hierarchical control strategy for direct yaw moment (DYC) to enhance the handling and stability of distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEVs) at medium to high speeds. The upper controller entailed a speed-following PI controller and an adaptive fuzzy linear quadratic regulator (AFLQR) controller, with the control objectives centered on reducing the absolute value of the sideslip angle and tracking the desired yaw rate. The proposed approach utilizes a fuzzy logic-based AFLQR controller, which could dynamically adjust the weighting parameters for sideslip angle and yaw rate in response to the vehicle speed and sideslip angle, offering better adaptability to varying driving conditions. At the lower control level, a tire-dynamic-load-based torque distribution method was applied. The control strategy’s efficacy was demonstrated through co-simulation involving CarSim and Simulink. This evaluation compared AFLQR control against non-yaw control, conventional LQR control and sliding mode control (SMC), focusing on handling and stability during sinusoidal steering wheel input test and double lane change maneuver. Results highlight that AFLQR reduces the sideslip angle by 7.88% and the yaw rate error by 84.29% compared to LQR, enhancing vehicle handling and stability. Lastly, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiment verified the control strategy’s validity.
