Networked Active Suspension Control of In-Wheel Motor-Driven Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are considered a positive development of the modern automotive industry due to their ability to improve fuel economy and promote sustainable road transportation. They have very low or almost zero carbon dioxide emission, which can help to reduce the harmful greenhouse effect. These electric vehicles are equipped with automated control systems to meet the increasing demand of ride comfort and vehicle safety. These systems are connected via a controller area network to reduce the need for expensive wiring and other components. By assigning a specific portion of the limited communication network to these systems, the vehicle can have better control and perform more efficiently.
