N2 - As part of the internship project carried out at Daimler AG, this report describes the application
and optimization of torque vectoring on a research vehicle based on the Mercedes- Benz SLS AMG E-CELL. A concise introduction is given regarding the MATLAB scripts and Simulink models that were used during the project. The main principles of torque vectoring are explained, after which three currently used torque vectoring control strategies are introduced, including the strategy which is applied during the internship project. To analyze and optimize torque vectoring strategies, various driving maneuvers can be performed. The most used maneuvers are introduced and an explanation is given about what kind of properties can be investigated by performing a specic maneuver. Due to
the condential nature of the research project, a global introduction is given about how torque vectoring is applied during this research project, by means of explaining some basic
characteristics and input-output relationships. Then, without going into detail, the
in
uences of torque vectoring in general and the in
uence of some basic control parameters
are explained by means of discussing graphical results obtained by simulating driving
maneuvers. Finally, Daimler's driving simulator is introduced and the maneuvers that
were performed in the simulator are explained. Furthermore, some global observations regarding
the in
uence of torque vectoring in 'real-life', based on performing various driving
maneuvers in the simulator, are propagated.
