Environmental issues have become a full part in the process of developing vehicle concepts: new driving technologies as alternative fuels or hybrid engines will be applied on a much wider scale in the future. The design of CNG vehicles introduces new problems dealing with the in-vehicle user interface alternative fuels symbols, specific indicators and switches, that we try to discuss in this pa...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are systems that combine a physical system with an embedded information processing system such that the resulting system has novel capabilities that could not be achieved by either the physical or the computational entity alone. Reachability study has become the most basic and important challenging subject of Cyber physical systems. In this paper present a reachabil...

With global non-renewable resources and environmental issues becoming more apparent, the development of new energy vehicles have become the trend of auto industry. Hybrid vehicle becomes the key development of new energy vehicles with its long distance, low pollution, low fuel consumption characteristics and so on. The battery performances directly influence the quality of the whole vehicle per...

In this paper, an intelligent electric power steering system is proposed to replace a traditional hydraulic power steering system and implemented in a real light hybrid electric vehicle. An intelligent fuzzy control algorithm is applied to yield basic assist logic, return compensation logic, damping compensation logic, and inertia compensation logic in an assist steering system. According to st...

This paper addresses a Three-Dimensional Loading Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (3L-CVRP) which combines a three-dimensional loading problem and vehicle routing problem in distribution logistics. The problem requires the combinatorial optimization of a feasible loading solution and a successive routing of vehicles to satisfy client demands, where all vehicles must start and terminate at a ...

As reported in earlier work, methods for hybrid optimal control can be used for optimal path planning of multi-agent systems. This paper considers a multi-vehicle transport scenario in which a hybrid model is used to represent the continuous dynamics of the vehicle motion and the dynamics arising from the docking-events between vehicles and a transported object. The decisions on the vehicles’ h...

The environmental aspect like oil depletion, global heating and CO2 gas emissions have become a concern and have propelled the development of an efficient and extendable energy management system (EMS) using fuel cell and battery sources for Hybrid Electric Vehicles. In this paper, a poser of a hybrid electric vehicle with energy management system with multiple source of energy is developed and ...

This paper presents the supercapacitor power management method for the Hybrid Electricals Vehicles.A simple zero-voltage switching(ZVS) interleaved boost power factor correction(PFC) AC/DC converter is used to charge the traction battery of an Hybrid Electrical Vehicle. The auxiliary circuit provides limited current to charge and discharge the MOSFETs output capacitors during turn-On times at z...
