It demonstrates a systematic way of evaluation and refinement of the safety degree to advance the confidence of a kind of fuel cell bus powertrain system, and meanwhile a specific approach of safety level evaluation is used. Via functionally summing up the potential faults which may appear and cause economic losses or occupant injury, the deficiency of the powertrain is located. Based on the occurrence, the severity and the detecting possibility, the numerical expressions of the faults property are measured. Through combining these evaluating results, a general safety level can be achieved, which directly reflects the inappropriateness that should be adjusted or redesigned. Continuous improvement, including using the passive methods of hardware redundancy and the active methods of fault diagnosis, detection and fault tolerant control in the electric control system is carried out, leading to a much more reliable system and the updated safety level shows the enhanced confidence of the fuel cell powertrain system. In order to get a more practical control system, a hardware in the loop test bench is set up to test the performance of the controllers, the core of the powertrain system, under different working conditions, especially those when faults appear. The actual execution of the approach shows that it is an objective analysis method for the innovative powertrain system and can help to improve the system reliability of the fuel cell bus systematically.","PeriodicalId":253788,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114560741","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}

Well-managed combustion of the first firing cycle can create high temperatures in the cylinder, which are beneficial for combustion on the following cycles, leading to an overall decrease the hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The quantity of HC emissions is the criterion of optimal excess air factor judgment, however it does not give complete understanding of fuel-air mixing, combustion and emissions generation within the cylinder of a Spark Ignition (SI) engine during cold start. Transient nitric oxide (NO) emissions, which can give information about combustion, can be an additional criterion for judging the optimal excess air factor. The present paper investigated the characteristic of the transient NO emissions of the first firing cycle during cold start in an electronic fuel injected SI engine fuelled with Liquid Petrol Gas (LPG). The transient NO emissions combining with the HC and CO emissions during cold start were used to identify the combustion in the cylinder, and found the optimal spark angle and excess air factor of the first firing cycle finally. In present paper, for the first firing cycle, the optimal spark angle was 10degCA BTDC, and the excess air factor was 0.53. The method and results in this paper are helpful for adjusting the control strategy to reduce total cold start emissions.","PeriodicalId":253788,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122426671","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 conventional strategy is always to conduct an internal training cycle for the specified object at each time step based on relative information in two consecutive moments. Whereas, in our work, the mechanism of eligibility traces is adopted for the learning of the cost function or its derivatives. The new learning depends on the current error combined with traces of past events. For the classical single cart-pole balancing problem, we implement our idea with one typical adaptive critic design, i.e. action-dependent heuristic dynamic programming. And comparing results demonstrate our approach with more efficiency in the performances such as learning speed and success rate of learning.","PeriodicalId":253788,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131070543","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}
