This lane keeping system (LKS) can alert the driver beforehand to the danger of unintentional departure from the lane and then actively control the vehicle steering to help the driver keep the car within the lane more easily. A charge-coupled-device (CCD) camera is used as the front-end sensing for this system to detect the lane marks and instantaneously calculate the lateral deviation. In order to enhance the image recognition precision, an adaptive lane detection algorithm with dynamic calibration was developed. The lane keeping control strategy was designed in accordance with the vehicle dynamics to figure out the appropriate assisted steering torque and further control the column-type electric power steering (EPS) of vehicle. In this work, the electronic control unit (ECU) of LKS has been implemented with an embedded hardware for the consideration of access to flexible adjustment and volume production.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127431848","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}

Therefore, in this paper, each optimal model minimizing torque ripple at the base and maximum speed and cogging torque is investigated by an optimization method. In addition, the characteristics of each model are compared by finite element analysis and characteristic equation. In the end, the final results show the optimal shape according to the operating point of IPMSM must be changed to satisfy torque performance.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128440254","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}

In India, these vehicles are mainly used as taxis. Since there is heavy congestion on the roads of India, the small size and narrow body of this three wheeled vehicle is perfectly suited to navigate the roads. These vehicles are usually powered by a two or four stroke gasoline engine. Due to this design and other factors, rickshaws are typically highly polluting. In recent years, alternative models such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) models have been introduced to deal with the pollution problem. Electric powered rickshaws were also considered, but there are no successful commercial products available yet. Illinois Institute of Technology has set out to solve the pollution problem caused by existing rickshaws by developing an electric auto rickshaw. Auto rickshaws are an ideal candidate for electrification due to the low speeds of the vehicle and relatively low distance covered in a day. With this idea, the team set out to develop a driving cycle of the auto rickshaw in a typical large Indian city - in this case, Delhi. This paper will describe the process by which the driving cycle was made for auto rickshaws in India. First, the existing cycles used in India are considered as candidates. Since these data are not applicable, GPS data collected at various times of the day were applied to the analysis. The new driving cycle was derived from information gathered via GPS data as well as surveys of auto rickshaw drivers in India, which helped to get the entire picture for the driving cycle.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131303027","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}

In order to save fuel and reduce pollution, they can be converted to Hybrid Electric Locomotives (HELs). In this paper, the selection and use of the induction electric machines for energy conversion in a plug in Hybrid Electric Locomotive is introduced. An old G12 locomotive is renovated and converted to a hybrid electric locomotive. To drive the locomotive, two induction motors are placed in two of the four axles of the locomotive. Due to the funding limits of the project, a prototype with two small motors was built. The G12 locomotive has four axles. Therefore, if the locomotive is mass produced, up to four motors with higher power ratings may be used that will give up to five times more torque and power. Instead of a 750 kVA diesel generator, a 80 kW diesel engine and a 50 kVA generator is used. Two 1200 volt, 300 ampere inverters with IGBT modules are used to drive each motor of the locomotive. The inverters are supplied by 480 volt, traction lead acid batteries. There are three ECUs for the motor and locomotive control. One is a master controller and to drive the LCD panels and the two others are for the inverter controllers. During the day, a shunting locomotive has around 60% idle time. In this condition, the locomotive consumes fuel and as its engine works at no load, the efficiency is zero and pollution is very high. A diesel engine in a hybrid technology either will be off or run at its rated torque and power. Therefore, its efficiency is high and at the same time the pollution and the fuel consumption are reduced a lot. The engine will be off unless the battery state of charge (SOC) reduced to a certain level. Moreover, instead of a 750 kVA diesel engine a 50 kVA diesel generator is used.","PeriodicalId":345424,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133039002","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}

Automated linear and nonlinear order-reduction techniques are introduced to mathematically extract the essential system dynamics in the desired bandwidth, thus preserving both accuracy and computational efficiency.
