Analysis of new possibilities for driving dynamics control and optimisation potential for existing functions through dedicated propulsion of individual wheels.

Background
Propulsion of individual wheels has been introduced nearly 100 years ago for example by Ferdinand Porsche. Common application was later supressed by the rapid development of IC-Engines and unsatisfactory performance of electric storage.
The ongoing discussion of CO2-emissions and energy consumption once again attracts notice to alternative propulsion systems and the emerging high power and high capacity electric storage fuels the interest in fully electric drive trains.
Motivation
Independent control of individual wheel torque, the low-lag control path and the lack of complex mechanical behaviour opens up new possibilities for active control of vehicle dynamics.
Goal
Features only possible or practically realisable through individual wheel propulsion should be identified and analysed.
The potential and requirements of new features as well as for the optimisation of conventional driving dynamics control systems like ASR and ESP will be evaluated with the help of multi-body system simulation, complex vehicle modelling and eventually an experimental vehicle.
