Hardware implementation of the Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) control strategy is an important stage of the development of the vehicle electric control unit (ECU). This paper introduces Model-Based Design (MBD) approach for implementation of PHEV energy management. Based on this approach, implementation of the control algorithm on an electronic hardware is performed using automatic co...

The University of Toledo University Transportation Center (UT-UTC) has identified hybrid vehicles as one of the three areas of the research. The activities proposed in this research proposal are directed towards the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) solutions for hybrid vehicles. The soaring fuel prices require imperious steps in developing alternate propulsion technologies. The design and ...

Li-excess layered oxide high energy density materials are currently being considered as promising candidates for energy storage technologies in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) or electric vehicles (EVs), owning to their high capacity (>250mAh/g), high energy density, and excellent safety.[1-3] Two major fundamental questions, however, must be resolved before their commercial implementa...
