The automotive industry is witnessing the rise of V2X connectivity and powertrain electrification, ushering in novel control solutions. Many current electric vehicles adopt centralized powertrain architectures comprising a sole onboard motor, a one-speed transmission, an open differential, half-shafts, and constant velocity joints. The interplay between torsional drivetrain dynamics and wheel behaviour is significantly influenced by the open differential, particularly in split- μ scenarios, instances where varying tire-road friction coefficients exist between the two wheels of an axle. These effects are mitigated using anti-jerk controllers. Although extensive literature delves into traction control methods for managing individual wheel slip, there is a knowledge gap in two key areas: model-based traction control techniques tailored to centralized powertrains; and traction control mechanisms that utilize advance knowledge of anticipated tire-road friction and elevation conditions, such as data from V2X communication, to enhance wheel slip tracking performance.
