Modeling and Fuzzy Control Strategy Design for the Hydraulic Hybrid Refuse Truck

In the present paper, the idea of braking energy regeneration and reusing that energy during acceleration for a refuse truck is comprehended. According to their driving cycle, the refuse trucks have a good potential for braking energy regeneration. On the other hand, hydraulic hybrid is a powertrain with high power density which is appropriate for energy regeneration. In the primary stage of th...

Automated model-based powertrain software production

Large and complex embedded software applications are almost always integrated out of smaller, more tangible modules. This is especially true for software that goes in an automotive powertrain control system. In this paper we present new tools and techniques that are useful for doing this integration. The research presented here is an outcome of the DARPA-funded MoBIES program; an acronym that s...

An Object-Oriented Modular Simulation Model for Integrated Gasoline Engine and Automatic Transmission Control

In this paper a computer simulation model for control system design of gasoline engines with an automatic transmission is presented. A modular programming approach has been pursued, and MATLAB/SIMULINK has been utilized as a programming environment. Engine/transmission systems are analyzed in the objectoriented fashion. Thus, easy construction of various computer models by assembling various ob...
