Abstract: In recent years, systems to control vehicle dynamics took a wide expansion. They make it possible to improve essentially the main operational characteristics of autonomous vehicle. Wheel drive systems take the important place among such systems. These systems allow to control the wheel drive torques and thus to control vehicle dynamics. In this paper, the law of vehicle optimal wheel torque distribution is considered. When doing so, the minimum of capacity losses is obtained. The criterion of minimising the capacity losses is offered as well. A technique, described in the paper, makes it possible to apply above-mentioned law and criterion to all-wheel drive vehicle with any number of wheels. The experimental and calculated characteristics of parameters, which describe the rolling of elastic wheel and all-wheel drive vehicle movement, are supplemented.
