Research Activities
Control of Electric Vehicles
utilize the quick response torque generation of electric motors to develop novel control techniques for electric
vehicles (EVs).
developed a vehicle stability control system for slippery roads, a GPS, and vision system-based vehicle state
estimation methodologies.
taking advantage of suspension structure, we made advances on pitch and roll motion control for EVs powered by
an in-wheel motors (IWM).
developed the FPEV2-Kanon, an original EV equipped with four IWMs, a four-wheel steering system, and lateral
tire force sensors,
developing a new EV called the FPEV4-Sawyer that enables comparison among different driving structures within
the same vehicle.
from 2012, we utilized our advanced control technologies for EVs (vehicle stability control, range extension control
algorithm, etc.) to start new work on an electric airplane.
