In order to improve the electric vehicle endurance mileage and output characteristics of motor, the optimization of inverter loss and motor current ripple reduction are considered. Aiming at high inverter loss of traditional SVPWM and high current ripple of DPWM, an adjustable discontinuous pulse width modulation(ADPWM) is proposed, whose clamping angle α and clamping phase angle θ are variable. In order to accurately calculate the inverter loss, a switching instantaneous inverter loss model is proposed, and the ADPWM inverter loss and current total harmonic distortion(THD) was studied based on Simulink modeling and simulation. The simulation and experiment results show that the experiment can be accurately reflected by Simulink model; The inverter loss can be reduced by 15%-25% by introducing ADPWM while the current distortion rate is low. With the clamping angle α increasing, the inverter loss decreased significantly.

Accurate parameters of vehicle motion state are very important to the active safety of a vehicle. Currently the extended Kalman filter and unscented Kalman filter are widely used in estimation of the key state parameters, such as speed. In this situation, tire model must be used. The Magic Formula Tire Model is widely used in vehicle dynamics simulation because of its high versatility and accuracy. However, it requires a large number of parameters, which make the key state parameters of a real vehicle difficult to accurately obtain. Therefore, it is limited in real-time control of a vehicle. Firstly, the original Magic Formula Tire Model is simplified in this paper; then Jin Chi's Tire Model is introduced; thirdly, parameters of both the simplified Magic Formula and Jin Chi's Tire Model are identified using PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. Finally, Jin Chi's Tire Model is also used in parameters identification of experimental data.
