Abstract: A direct yaw and torque vector control method for 8×8 distributed electric drive armored vehicles is proposed to improve the vehicle's driving stability and take advantage of the hub motor drive.A linear 2-DOF model of vehicle is established to calculate the desired yaw rate and the sideslip angle.A hierarchical controller is designed based on this model. The upper controller is to coordinate the yaw rate and the sideslip angle. The control outputs of the two variables are calculated by using sliding mode control,and the weight function is designed to obtain the yaw torque output. The lower controller divides the eight wheels into four groups according to the axis. Then the torque of each wheel can be obtained according to the yaw moment and longitudinal force by the torque vector synthesis. The real-time simulated results show that the proposed control method can distribute the wheel torque reasonably,control the yaw rate effectively,and improve the vehicle's driving stability.
