This paper focuses on the reverse mode of a proposed series motor four-quadrant direct current chopper (FQDC). The paper proposes a control technique in controlling the acceleration and deceleration of an electric vehicle (EV) using triple cascade proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers with an ascend-descend algorithm for controlling speed, torque, and position. The aim is to control the electric propulsion motor powered by the FQDC for the application of automatic reverse parking of an autonomous DC drive electric car. The control technique was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink, and the results showed that the technique has successfully met the objective of torque, current, speed, and position control for reverse and auto-reverse parking. In addition, the technique is suitable to be implemented in a DC drive electric car. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
