โœจTo improve the performance of vehicle-mounted Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs), this paper proposes improvement methods from the perspective of optimizing control strategies, which are specifically as follows:

โšกAiming at the large torque ripple in the commutation zone of traditional SRMs under Direct Instantaneous Torque Control (DITC), the cosine-type Torque Sharing Function (TSF) is improved and reshaped to suppress torque ripple while reducing the peak current.
By introducing the crossover operator into the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, the switching angles at various speeds are optimized. The optimized switching angles are then introduced into the TSF module to obtain the optimal reference torque for each phase, thereby improving the control accuracy of the actual motor torque and further suppressing torque ripple
๐ŸŒŸ Dive into this innovative work and see how itโ€™s enhancing electric vehicle technologies!

Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) offer several advantages, including a magnet- and winding-free rotor, high mechanical strength, and exceptional output efficiency. However, the doubly salient pole structure and high-frequency switching power supply result in significant torque ripple and electromag...

Check out this important research:
"A Tractor Work Position Prediction Method Based on CNN-BiLSTM Under GNSS Signal Denial" by Yangming Hu, Liyou Xu, Xianghai Yan, Ningjie Chang, Qigang Wan, and Yiwei Wu.

๐Ÿ”ŽThis paper addresses the challenges posed by GPS denial in agricultural environments, such as those influenced by forest cover or adverse weather conditions, where traditional GNSS/INS integrated navigation systems are disrupted by unstable satellite signals. This instability results in the divergence of navigation errors, compromising the accuracy and stability of autonomous tractor navigation.

โšกTo enhance positioning precision, the paper proposes a model that combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks (BiLSTM) to assist integrated navigation. The CNN-BiLSTM model is trained when GNSS signals are available, and in the event of signal loss, the model predicts navigation data, ensuring reliable, continuous, and stable positioning.

๐Ÿ’กThe model's effectiveness and reliability are validated using real-world data from a tractor simulating fieldwork. Experimental results demonstrate that whether GPS fails for an extended or brief period, the model exhibits a fitting accuracy comparable to real GPS, proving the feasibility of replacing GPS with the neural network model under GPS denial conditions.

๐Ÿ“„ Title: Stability Study of Distributed Drive Vehicles Based on Estimation of Road Adhesion Coefficient and Multi-Parameter Control
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Authors: Peng Ji, Fengrui Han, and Yifan Zhao

๐Ÿ“Œ Objective
In order to improve the driving stability of distributed-drive intelligent electric vehicles under different roadway attachment conditions, this paper proposes a multi-parameter control algorithm based on the estimation of road adhesion coefficients. First, a seven-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) vehicle dynamics model is established and optimized with a layered control strategy. The upper-level control module calculates the desired yaw rate and sideslip angle using the two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) vehicle model, and estimates the road adhesion coefficient by using the singular-value optimized cubature Kalman filtering (CKF) algorithm; the middle-level utilizes the second-order sliding mode controller (SOSMC) as a direct yaw moment controller in order to track the desired yaw rate and sideslip angle, while also employing a joint distribution algorithm to control the torque distribution based on vehicle stability parameters, thereby en-hancing system robustness; and the lower-level controller performs optimal torque allocation based on the optimal tire loading rate as the objective.
