The platform uses a combination of two simulation loops, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) and Driver-In-the-Loop (DIL). Its hardware consists of a simulation computer, a monitor computer, a vision computer, DAS actuators as well as a dummy car. Its software components include several specific ones. When designing its monitor software, a GUI-Driven-by-S-Function (GUIDSF) method is proposed to eliminate the delay in the displaying of the simulation data. The vision rendering software uses adjustment based on the principle of optical projection, considerably improving the driver's perception of being immersed in the virtual traffic scene. The success of the developed platform is demonstrated by HIL experiments of actuators and DIL experiments of ACC. They demonstrate that the proposed actuator control algorithm possesses good tracking capability and ACC is capable of improving ride comfort and reducing driver workload, and consequently, the platform is capable of speeding up DAS development.","PeriodicalId":191216,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117148947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this program was to evaluate the performance and use of the bus while developing a model that could predict overall performance and energy consumption on daily driving routes. A model of the fuel cell bus was developed using PSAT (Powertrain Analysis Toolkit). The model development involved verifying component characteristics and a parametric study of drivetrain efficiencies to relate predicted to measured vehicle energy consumption data from on-road testing. The PSAT model was able to predict net energy consumption to within 5% over varying route profiles and vehicle conditions. Further investigations with advanced energy storage were performed to evaluate the benefits of ultracapacitor assisted batteries by using the correlated PSAT model. Ultracapacitors act as an additional load leveling device in the hybrid vehicle for peak propulsion and braking vehicle loads, thereby reducing stress on the batteries. The model simulation results show that ultracapacitors can increase overall vehicle economy by 2 to 4% and deliver a net increase in battery efficiency of 3 to 4%.","PeriodicalId":191216,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"0 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127227827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the hybrids currently offered are far from fully utilizing their fuel saving potential, although they are more efficient than their conventional counterparts. The reason for not fully utilizing the potential of hybrids lays in the controller used in virtually all of them. In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed that is based on Stochastic Dynamic Programming but can be used for real time applications because of the predictive algorithm used with it. This strategy achieves about ten percent increase in fuel efficiency in most drive cycles over a rule based control strategy.","PeriodicalId":191216,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124813871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in order to obtain high performance for mentioned applications, the overall hardware system can be very complex and costly. This paper presents an ironless machine design that can be used for in-wheel traction machines as well as for Integrated Starter/Alternators (ISA), controlled by a novel digital control strategy for 4-quadrant machine operation. Machine design is suitable for different radius of the wheel and is scalable in terms of power density. It does not require iron, so composite materials can be used, which was one of the limitations with conventional machine. In addition, a low-cost digital control strategy has been presented that can be used by itself, or as a subsystem of a more complex control scheme. For applications that do not require a high degree of speed accuracy, the proposed control strategy shows faster response when variable speed command is applied to the shaft of the machine. The implementation of this scheme is also much simpler than most existing methods used in automotive applications.","PeriodicalId":191216,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114147552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Application of power electronics becomes important for greater energy density, decreased fuel consumption, performance and productivity enhancements, and desired protection, diagnostic, and safety features. A sustained effort is needed on power electronics and electric drive system design to achieve the desired level of performance. There can be numerous machines/drives of various types and power levels in a system. In numerous applications, driving torque varies considerably over a given work cycle including occurrence of the stall condition. Therefore, the drive system should have a reliable ride-through capability. To achieve desired torque/speed profile and dynamic response, a systematic design, development, and deployment of the power electronics-based electric drive system is needed. Application conditions make it difficult to match/exceed mechanical system reliability and costs.
