1Loss of energy
If optimal torque distribution is determined to minimize power losses, then energy efficiency is improved, but driving comfort and safety may deteriorate due to excessive oversteering and jerk disturbances
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters (torque distribution, speed, acceleration) based on real-time conditions. By continuously adjusting these parameters within acceptable ranges rather than固定在单一最优值, the system maintains energy efficiency while avoiding extreme torque distributions that cause oversteering and jerk disturbances
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic control system that adapts torque distribution in real-time based on vehicle speed, acceleration, and power loss maps. This dynamic approach allows the system to respond to changing driving conditions, preventing sudden torque changes that would cause discomfort while maintaining optimal efficiency when conditions permit
2Device complexity
If fixed gear is assigned to each machine, then control simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different operating conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static fixed-gear assignment to dynamic gear selection based on real-time operating conditions. The control system continuously evaluates vehicle speed, torque demand, and power loss characteristics to determine optimal gear configurations, enabling adaptation to varying driving conditions while maintaining manageable control complexity through systematic decision logic
