In this study, a part-load condition was considered, where adopting a proper strategy for governing a multi-unit system is important. Simulink and Simscape toolbox from MATLAB (R2019a) were used to build up the real-time model by integrating a cooling system with a cabin sub-model. The cooling system consists of two independently controlled units, based on a Vapour Compression Cycle (VCC). The cabin is modelled using a moisture air network and is coupled with the cooling system to exchange heat with the refrigerant through the evaporators. Moreover, the sensible and latent loads are incorporated into the cabin by a thermal network. Six different strategies were implemented using different criteria, to investigate the average power and COP (Coefficient of Performance) under a part-load condition. The comfort level was obtained in terms of the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) indices. Results are suggestive of a link between the implemented control strategy of a multi-unit AC system and its performance. Results showed that five out of the six proposed strategies might be chosen, depending on the adopted trade-off policy between the comfort level and the system energy demand. In this way, the numerical approach introduced here along with the combination of the presented findings, provide a good support for the decision-making on thermal management inside the cabin, based on the energy consumption and the thermal comfort level.","PeriodicalId":45281,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Commercial Vehicles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43373993","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}

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicle technology has become a hot research spot in this era, which can effectively improve driving safety and greatly secure driver’s operations. As one of the key technologies for automated vehicles, planning a safe and highly effective path is the key premise and can guarantee for road safety. Therefore, it has a significant impact on academic research and commercial applications.

Models are created using three different techniques: parametric, linear regression, and artificial neural networks. The proposed models use features derived from vehicle speed, mass, and road grade, which can be easily obtained from telematics devices, in addition to power take-off (PTO) active time, which is needed to capture the power requested by accessories in several heavy-duty vehicles. The robustness of these models with respect to the training data selection is improved by using k-fold cross-validation. Moreover, the inherent underestimation or overestimation bias of the model is calculated and used to offset the fuel consumption estimates for new routes. The study shows that the target application dictates the choice of model features. In fact, the results indicate that depending on the vocation the linear regression and neural network models, which use the same input features, are able to adequately differentiate between the fuel consumption of two","PeriodicalId":45281,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Commercial Vehicles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48530285","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}
