IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2021
Energy Management of a Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Electric Vehicle
Chair: Dr. Bảo-Huy Nguyễn, University of Sherbrooke (Canada)
Co-chair: Prof. João Pedro F. Trovão, University of Sherbrooke (Canada)
Co-chair: Dr. Thanh Vo-Duy, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (Vietnam)
Call For Papers
Dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) is an advanced traction configuration being developed in both academic and industrial sectors. In industry, for example, Tesla Model 3 is equipped with an interior permanent magnet motor in the rear and an induction motor in the front axle. For academic research, a front- and rear-wheel independent drive (FRID) EV prototype has been developed with high performances of dynamical behaviors and fault-tolerance ability. Recently, the impacts of different efficiency characteristics of the front and rear electrical drives (EDs) have been investigated. Nevertheless, the number of works on energy management strategy (EMS) of this configuration is still limited.
This special session, following the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2021, focuses on energy management of dual-motor all-wheel drive electric vehicles. Not only the participants of the Challenge but also the interested researchers on the related topics are welcome to submit their works to the special session.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Electric vehicles (EV)
- Energy management strategy (EMS)
- Multi-motor systems
- Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles
- Modeling and control for electrified transportation system
All special session digests must be prepared and submitted in the same way as those for the conference regular tracks, except that the corresponding special session should be identified during submission.
