Energy consumption of a last generation full hybrid vehicle compared with a conventional vehicle in real drive conditions

A Study on Performance of Simplified Vehicle Models in Optimization of Hydraulic Engine Mounts in Comparison with Full-Vehicle Model

Investigation of Emissions and Energy Consumption of DENA Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Nowadays, environmental pollution is increasing more and more and in the big cities, because of the concentration of the population, is more intense. Air pollution in the big cities has become a serious problem especially in Iran. High fossil fuel consumption of vehicles is a major cause to increase in the amount of air pollution. Using new technology of powertrain, like other developed countri...

Modification of Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) is one of the main real-time control strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This paper proposes a method to modify this strategy. This modification reduces calculation time of ECMS and therefore, facilitates its application as the real-time controller. Dynamic programming (DP) method is employed to reach this aim. This method is appli...

Fuel consumption optimization of a series hybrid electric vehicle utilizing ‎fuzzy logic control

The controller of the hybrid electric vehicle determines the combustion engine start-stop time, the operation points, and regenerative brake energy. The Controlling approach of hybrid electric vehicles controls the amount of needed fuel in every driving situation. In the present study, the thermostat strategy is implemented along with fuzzy logic control and compared to the classic thermostat s...

A Vehicle Routing Problem with Inventory in a Hybrid Uncertain Environment

Manufacturers, who re-supply a large number of customers, continually struggle with the question of how to formulate a replenishment strategy. The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal set of routes for a group of vehicles in the transportation network under defined constraints – which is known as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) – delivering new items, and resolving the invent...
