Integrated Braking Control for Electric Vehicles Toward Enhanced Energy Recovery and Dynamic Stability
摘要
Braking control in electric vehicles is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency through regenerative braking. However, conventional anti-lock braking systems (ABS) typically deactivate regenerative braking to prioritize stability, sacrificing energy recovery potential. This paper presents a novel hierarchical control strategy for dual-motor electric vehicles that enables cooperative regenerative and hydraulic braking throughout the ABS operating cycle. The strategy employs a Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller, optimized via Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), for precise slip ratio regulation, coupled with a rule-based torque distribution mechanism. Simulations under diverse road conditions demonstrate that the proposed method maintains robust braking performance and stability. Crucially, it achieves a significant energy recovery of 0.26% to 1.01% in battery State of Charge (SOC) per braking event—a pure gain compared to conventional systems which recover none under ABS activation. This work provides a practical framework for enhancing both the safety and energy economy of electric vehicles.
