Development and Experimental Validation of a Dynamic Model for Electric Vehicle with in Hub Motors

This paper presents the development of a dynamic model of an electric vehicle with motors in all four wheels. The detailed model, is been developed in ADAMS® platform. It has 14 degrees of freedom and in it are included all elements of the actual vehicle such as coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and pneumatic wheels. The model has been validated experimentally in the actual vehicle, showing the goodness of fit. This dynamic simulator will serve as a test bed for improving vehicle and driver pretesting traction and stability.
