A State-of-the-Art Review on the Revolution of Structure and Control of Vehicle Chassis System: from Tradition to Distributed Chassis System

• The shift from centralized to distributed chassis systems (DCS) with corner modules enables independent control of each wheel's drive, braking, steering, and suspension, enhancing vehicle maneuverability and stability. • Integrated coordination of chassis subsystems at the vehicle level is crucial to prevent controller conflicts and ensure seamless operation, with methods and architectures summarized in the review. • Distributed control architectures, leveraging multi-agent systems (MAS) and cyber-physical systems (CPS), offer fault tolerance and scalability, addressing limitations of traditional integrated control. • A novel multi-domain cooperative control framework for DCS is proposed, integrating control and information technologies to optimize performance and reliability.
