This paper presents a recommender system responsible for processing information that will help the driver in the daily use of his Electric Vehicle (EV), minimizing the problem of range anxiety through a personalized range prediction and by presenting in real time relevant information about the charging stations that can be reached within the range autonomy. Given the success of recommendation s...

Electric Vehicle (EV) battery technologies is a limiting factor for the wide spread diffusion of electric vehicles. EV battery’s energy density compared to fossil fuels is still very low, thus EV’s have still stringent driving range with voluminous, heavy and high cost batteries. Automotive OEM’s are trying to estimate the future of batteries to do their plans related to electric vehicle manufa...

Automobiles have an influence on the global environment that cannot be disregarded, not only through air pollution in cities but also through large carbon dioxide emission that leads to global warming. A hybrid electric vehicle combining a gasoline engine and an electric motor has proved to be an effective means to solve these problems. Electrical energy flow of the vehicle is controlled with i...

This paper presents two different approaches to improve the electromagnetic torque and output power of hybrid Externally Excited Synchronous Motor (EESM) applied Electric Vehicles (EVs). An analytical approach is first considered define main parameters proposed machine. Based on obtained results from model, EESM designed with rotor shapes step-skewing magnet segments reduce total losses ripple....

The increase of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) penetration in distribution systems necessitates processing strategic assets order to deal with their energy needs. A careful investigation into matters related PEV charging management under actual circumstances can be regarded as the critical step towards enabling this process. Accordingly, paper intends design a practical controller capable per...

Electronics technology is indispensable for improving automotive performance. Especially, in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), electric systems are the heart of the automobile. Power devices are one of the most important components of car electronics systems and they are applied to many systems, for example, oil-pressure valve control of the ABS system, and motor contro...

In order to remain on the forefront of driving simulation technology, it is necessary to continually upgrade and expand the capabilities of the NADS. One extension that is suggested by recent trends in the automotive marketplace is the ability to simulate hybrid electric vehicles. Support of hybrid electric vehicles by the NADS is motivated by the engineering and human factors challenges of des...

In contrast to conventional internal combustion engine driven vehicles, the number of motors in fully electric cars is not fixed. A variety of architectural solutions, including from one to four individually controlled electric drive units, is possible and opens up new avenues in the design of vehicle characteristics. In particular, individual control of multiple electric powertrains promises t...

Intelligent Vehicle Robotics is a research area affordable only to big size research groups, mainly because of its high costs. By the present work we propose to develop Intelligent Vehicle Robotics research with modest budgets using an accurately scaled platform. We have developed a scaled intelligent vehicle model to simulate private electric vehicles. It is a low cost, flexible, expandable an...
