ABSTRACT |
Lightweight electric vehicles (LEVs) possess great advantages in the viewpoint of fuel consumption,
environment protection and traffic mobility. However, due to the drastic reduction of vehicle weights and body size, the
effects of payload parameter variation in LEV control and estimation system become much more pronounced and have to be
systematically analysed. This paper proposes a novel payload parameter sensitivity analysis to provide quantitative insight
into the sensitivity of payload parameter on the LEV system responses and state estimation. The analysis-oriented LEV
dynamic model considering payload parameter variations is developed. Then, the trajectory sensitivity index of the influential
parameters is defined and derived with the perturbation approach, the median method is used to improve the calculation
accuracy for the trajectory sensitivity of payload parameter. Finally, the extended Kalman filter is designed to show the effect
and importance of the sensitive payload parameters on the observation accuracy, the payload parameter variations along with
fundamental state estimation such as vehicle sideslip angle, longitudinal velocity and vehicle roll angle are analysed.
Simulation results with Matlab/Simulink-Carsim® show that the proposed method can accurately describe the relationship
between the vehicle payload parameters and system state estimation, which is helpful to design and evaluate LEV controller
and observer performances. |
