The purpose of this paper is to construct a control algorithm for improvement in driving efficiency of 4-wheel-drive in-wheel electric vehicles. Main parts of vehicle were modeled and input-output relations of signals were summarized using MATLAB/Simulink. Performance simulator for 4-wheel-drive in-wheel electric vehicles was developed based on co-simulation environment with a commercial dynamic behavior analysis program called Carsim. Also for improvement in driving efficiency of vehicles, a torque distribution algorithm that distributes torque to front and rear wheels was included in the performance simulator. Validity of the torque distribution algorithm was demonstrated based on simulation on changes in SOC caused by use of the torque distribution algorithm.
