    To improve the handling stability of distributed drive electric vehicles, this paper proposed an integrated control strategy for active front wheel steering and direct yaw torque based on model predictive control and phase plane method. The strategy consists of a vehicle stability judgment module based on the centroid sideslip angle phase plane, a stability controller based on improved model predictive control and a torque divider. Through the evaluation of vehicle stability on the phase plane, the vehicle stability formula was introduced into the objective function design of the model predictive controller, the active angle and additional yaw moment of the decision were adjusted. Considering vehicle stability and dynamics, a torque synthesis optimization allocation method based on phase plane was designed to allocate torque. Simulation under low adhesion and double lane shifting conditions shows that the control strategy improves the handling stability of the vehicle under medium and low adhesion conditions.

    In order to improve the integration of free piston expander-linear generator, the motion of air in cylinder and the motion characteristics of piston were analyzed by using computational fluid dynamics method and dynamic grid technique, and the influence of cylinder structural parameters on the motion characteristics of piston was analyzed by orthogonal test. The results show that the air pressure and velocity change obviously when the air flows through the inlet and outlet. Cylinder orifice aperture has the greatest influence on piston velocity and displacement. Intake time, piston mass and cylinder diameter also have different influences on piston displacement and velocity.

    A motor noise tracking method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition spectral Kurtosis Reconstruction Find Peaks (EMD-KR-FP) was proposed to track the noise of brushless DC motor. Firstly, the characteristic frequencies of radial electromagnetic force, torque ripple and resonance induced electromagnetic noise were obtained by theoretical calculation. The characteristic frequency set was defined, the time-domain signal of motor noise was decomposed by Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method. Then, according to the spectral Kurtosis theory, the Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) component was screened for signal reconstruction, the reconstructed signal was processed by Fourier transform. Peak location algorithm was used to extract the peak frequency of several peaks with the largest contribution on the spectrum and compare with the frequency of characteristic frequency set, so as to determine the cause of electromagnetic noise of the motor. Test results show that this method is effective and reduces the workload of traditional order analysis method.

    To ensure the security and privacy of sensitive data in Internet of Vehicle (IoV) environments, this paper proposed a distributed differential privacy data protection scheme combining federated learning and reinforced learning mechanisms. In this scheme, a federated learning architecture was applied to keep data on vehicle nodes or edge devices for learning, enabling data privacy protection, reducing data transmission costs through distributed storage. The Laplace mechanism was employed to achieve differential privacy, the Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) was used to manage data perturbation, ensuring the privacy and efficiency of model parameter transmissions. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can achieve approximately 80% global accuracy within 10 rounds of communication, with a maximum of 98%, can complete model aggregation within less communication rounds, achieving a good balance between privacy protection and global data accuracy, and accurately detecting the injection of false noise through the reinforced learning strategy, promoting the intelligence and security levels of IoV.
