Analysis and Roll Prevention Control for Distributed Drive Electric Vehicles

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This study develops an algorithm which could improve the roll stability of distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV) efficiently and accurately. This study clarifies the important influence factors of the roll stability of the whole vehicle by analyzing the rolling torque generation mechanism of the whole vehicle. It proposes a decoupling control strategy for roll and yaw motions and an anti-rollover control strategy respectively. Several typical working conditions are used to verify the efficiency of both methods. I think the work is valuable for vehicle stability control and DDEV dynamic control.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript requires significant changes and amendments to be accepted for acceptance

1-The introduction needs an "introduction on the need for EVs, especially its contribution to sustainability". Might be u can refer

Chakraborty, S., Kumar, N.M., Jayakumar, A., Dash, S.K. and Elangovan, D., 2021. Selected Aspects of Sustainable Mobility Reveals Implementable Approaches and Conceivable Actions. Sustainability, 13(22), p.12918.

2-The rationale to choose a Fuzzy algorithm needs to be addressed. Also the contribution of the work needs to be well established

3-In table-4, what do you mean by "Vehicle quality"

4-The claRITY OF FIGURES MUST BE IMPROVED, E.G. fIG-5

5-Units can be provided in the Nomenclature

6-A comprehensive proof reading is mandate
