Abstract: In this paper, we investigate an architecture for autonomous distributed control of braking and driving force on each wheel of a vehicle equipped with in-wheel motors on four wheels. Specifically, in a scenario where the driving force of some wheels is reduced due to low-friction road or motor failure during going straight ahead, the remaining wheels that can generate driving force autonomously control the yaw rate caused by the unbalanced driving force and driving force reduction to maintain the vehicle behavior. To realize autonomous distributed control, we focus on broadcast control from the control theory of multi-agent systems, which deals with the control of systems composed of many elements. We verify by simulation that the proposed architecture performs as desired for the assumed scenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
