This paper proposes a novel prioritisation model predictive control for improving the handling and stability of all-wheel-drive vehicles configured with an electric motor and an open differential per axle with differential braking capability. The configuration of the powertrain provides a significant handling improvement by optimising front/rear torque distribution. The controller gives a high priority to front/rear torque distribution and, if needed, activates the differential braking. A coupled force prediction model of the vehicle handling dynamics is developed to capture the interaction of longitudinal and lateral tyre forces. Since differential braking causes speed drop, energy waste, and noise, two control actuations are prioritised: (1) front/rear torque shifting, (2) differential braking. Appropriate stability constraints are defined for the vehicle yaw rate and sideslip, dividing the sideslip-yaw rate phase plane into three regions – stable, marginal, unstable – based on which three control objectives are defined. Then, the priorities of the control actuations and the control objectives are combined, and a model predictive control structure is developed for this multi-objective multi-actuation control problem. The predictive controller prioritises the objectives and actuations through the prediction horizon. The performance of the proposed controller is thoroughly evaluated through numerical and full vehicle experimental studies.
