This paper proposes a feed-forward control model for SWB6105 parallel hybrid electric urban bus (PHEUB) by using Matlab/Simulink. In order to optimize the fuel economy, balance the battery state of charge (SOC), and satisfy the requirements of the vehicle performance and drivability as well, a logic threshold torque distribution control strategy (LTTDCS) incorporating with an instantaneous opti...

Part of CREATE-GV’s Mercury, the Powertrain Analysis and Computational Environment (PACE) is a simulation tool that provides advanced behavioral modeling of the powertrain subsystem of conventional or hybridelectric vehicles. PACE performs its task by converting an existing powertrain architecture created in Autonomie or Matlab/Simulink into HPC-ready C++ code using an automated code generation...

The competition to deliver fuel e cient and environmentally friendly vehicles is driving the 1 2 Submitted to Journal of Dynamics Systems, Measurement, & Control automotive industry to consider ever more complex powertrain systems. Adequate performance of these new highly interactive systems can no longer be obtained through traditional approaches, which are intensive in hardware use and nal co...

The power management controller of a hybrid vehicle orchestrates the operation of onboard energy sources, namely engine and auxiliary power source with the goal of maximizing performance objectives such as the fuel economy. The paper focuses on optimization of the power management strategy of the refuse truck with parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain. The high power density of hydraulic compone...

Effective powertrain design for the emerging electric vehicle market is a complex, multidisciplinary problem. As such, engineers may often use formal decomposition-based optimisation strategies to partition the problem into more manageable subproblems and then integrate their solutions to obtain an optimal system design. Sometimes, these strategies yield decision variables that consist of highl...
