NON-LINEAR BACKSTEPPING SPEED CONTROL FOR ASIAN ELECTRIC SCOOTER USES

Abstract

The electric scooter has become very popular especially in large European and Asian urban areas, thanks to its some advantages. While its popularity is increasing, studies about these electric scooters are also increasing. The main objective of this study is to introduce the design of an autonomy extended electric three-wheeled scooter. For this aim, a model is obtained firstly and it is driven by two BLDC motors placed on the rear wheels independently controlled by a non-linear controller named as Backstepping. Indeed, it contains a powerful electronic differential system to ensure the security of passenger while entering the curved road. The studied model is simulated through the MATLAB Simulink environment where interesting results are shown in results.
