A critical element to the success of new propulsion technologies that enable reductions in fuel use is the integration of component thermal management technologies within a viable vehicle package. Vehicle operation requires vehicle thermal management systems capable of balancing the needs of multiple vehicle systems that may require heat for operation, require cooling to reject heat, or require...

Hybrid vehicles use two energy sources for their propelling. In order to investigate an optimal splitting of the power flows between the engine and the electric machine, an optimal control algorithm is recalled. A new formulation using maps allows a very fast solving this problem which then may be used in real time control. In the particular case of a hybrid vehicle on a prescribed route, a new...

This paper provides an overview of the latest advances in road vehicle suspension design, dynamics, and control, together with the authors' perspectives, in the context of vehicle ride, handling and stability. The general aspects of road vehicle suspension dynamics and design are discussed, followed by descriptions of road roughness excitations with a particular emphasis on road potholes. Passi...

this paper proposes a novel decision making framework for an electricity retailer to procure its electric demand in a bilateral-pool market in presence of charging and discharging of electric vehicles (evs). the operational framework is a two-stage programming model in which at the first stage, the retailer and ev aggregator do their medium-term planning. determination of retailer's optimum sel...

This paper proposes a feed-forward control model for SWB6105 parallel hybrid electric urban bus (PHEUB) by using Matlab/Simulink. In order to optimize the fuel economy, balance the battery state of charge (SOC), and satisfy the requirements of the vehicle performance and drivability as well, a logic threshold torque distribution control strategy (LTTDCS) incorporating with an instantaneous opti...

Sustainable transportation and mobility are key components and central to sustainable development. This research aims to reveal the macro-level social, economic, and environmental impacts of alternative vehicle technologies in the U.S. The studied vehicle technologies are conventional gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid with four different all-electric ranges, and full battery electric vehicles (B...

The development of chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle based on CAN bus was studied. Chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle measurement methods and loading devices are analyzed, and laid the foundation for the resistance simulation of chassis dynamometer. Road resistance simulation on HEV chassis dynamometer is researched, getting electric quantity simulation type of chassis dynamometer drivin...

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV) is a promising way of achieving the benefits of the electric vehicle without being limited by the electric range. This paper develops an adaptive control strategy based on a map-based ECMS approach. The control is developed and implemented in a simulator provided by IFP Energies nouvelles for the PHEV benchmark. The implemented control strives to be as bl...
