In response to the poor adaptability of existing harvesters to complex operating conditions in the field, this study took a three-row four-wheel-drive (4WD) corn harvester as the research object, designed a traveling transmission system layout, proposed a control strategy of driving torque distribution, simulated, and analyzed each of the four states of harvester drive wheels slippage. The results showed that under the driving wheels slipping condition, after applying torque control, the adjustment time was 43.3% shorter than that without control in the case of single wheel slipping, 11.1% shorter than that without control in the case of two wheels slipping on the same axle, 41.4% shorter than that without control in the case of two wheels slipping on different axles, and 36.6% shorter than that without control in the case of three driving wheels slipping. The application of drive torque distribution control could significantly improve the traction and passing ability of the corn harvesters during operation, as well as made the harvester travel more smoothly, thus improving the harvest quality. The drive torque distribution control can be applied not only to the three-row corn harvester, but also to other types of harvesters, and self-propelled agricultural machinery to enhance their adaptability, improving their operation quality. It has a significant reference value for the development of the driving system on walking agricultural machinery.

The potentialities shown by controlled differentials are making the automotive industry to explore this field. While VDC systems can only guarantee a safe behaviour at limit, a controlled differential can also increase the handling performance. The system derives from a rear wheel drive architecture with a semi-active differential, to which has been added a controlled wet clutch that directly connects the front axle and the engine crankshaft. This device allows distributing the drive torque between the two axles, according to the constraints due to kinematics and thermal problems. It can be easily understood that in this device the torque distribution doesn’t depend only from the central clutch action, but also from the engaged gear. Because of that the central clutch controller has to consider the gear position too. The control algorithms development was carried on using a vehicle model which can precisely simulate the handling response, the powertrain dynamic and the actuation system behaviour. A right powertrain response required the development of a customize library in Simulink. The approach chosen to carry on this research was the one used in automotive industry nowadays: an intensive simulation campaign was executed to realize an initial controller design and tuning.

An adaptive equivalent consumption minimisation strategy and dynamic control allocation-based optimal power management strategy for a four-wheel drive plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is proposed in this paper. The equivalent factors of adaptive equivalent consumption minimisation strategy are optimised offline based on ISIGHT software over several typical driving cycles, which is integrated with AVL CRUISE and MATLAB/Simulink. To update the equivalent factor adaptively according to the predictive velocity, a neural network-based optimal equivalent factor prediction model is built, which can be used online. The torque distribution strategy considering axle load based on energy management strategy optimisation results and the vehicle dynamics control distribution is proposed: this includes two-wheel drive torque distribution, four-wheel drive torque distribution and brake torque distribution. The proposed energy management strategy is verified in New European Driving Cycle and Worldwide harmonised Light Vehicle Test Cycle driving patterns, and the simulation results show that the fuel economy of adaptive equivalent consumption minimisation strategy and dynamic control allocation-based optimal power management strategy is improved by 8.84% and 7.52% in New European Driving Cycle and Worldwide harmonised Light Vehicle Test Cycle, respectively, compared with the benchmark algorithm-based strategy.
