Adaptive fuzzy-PI control for speed's tracking in a leisure electrical vehicle

Abstract

This paper deals with a comparison study between different kinds of controllers based on a speed tracking problem inside an electrical vehicle using an axial-flux permanent-magnet traction motor. In fact, the framework of these works is the control of the powertrain of electric vehicles which is a great challenge to ensure driving comfort. To do so, the vehicle's performances are carried out using an established simulation platform implemented on Matlab- Simulink environment. Then, obtained results are compared for the three synthesized controllers. It has been found that required speed levels are reached with a clear advantage of the adaptive Fuzzy-PI controller versus the PI and the fuzzy counterparts, from the points of view of rise and selling times.
