The new constraints in vehicle design for personal mobility are the development of a non-polluting and high safety vehicle. This is the consequence of increasing road traffic and climatic environmental problems. Like solution of these problems, the vehicle with electrical traction has been contemplated. The pollution is strongly decreased and the electric traction gives the possibility to achieve accurate and quick control of the distribution torque. This paper presents a traction control system of an electric vehicle (EV) based on the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) and its maximum control structure (MCS). The simulator ELEVES has been used to simulate the studied system. Finally, in order to validate the simulation results, a comparison between the results obtained by ELEVES and those obtained by Matlab/Simulink software tool has been included.

The following article describes the development and evaluation of alternative concepts to improve the energy budget of an existing vehicle by using a total vehicle simulation. Based on extensive measurements, the behavior and all relevant elements of the vehicle have been analyzed, modeled and validated. The simulation results enable an integral quantification of improvement potential. One of the essential results is the influence of hybrid driving functions on the thermal behavior of the vehicle as well as the impact on the fuel consumption. By dint of simulation experiments, the maximum fuel saving potential has been calculated for various driving cycles, control strategies and configurations.

Unmanned aerial vehicles due to their large operational potential may be required to travel over long distances and through various weather conditions, which might lead to potential degradation or even failure of their electrical or/and mechanical actuator parts. Control in trajectory derivations and path following processes is highly dependable on these actuators and sensors. Depending on their efficiency, the outcome will be a near optimum solution to every problem. Consequently, the minor failure can degrade the performance of the process and might drive it to an uncontrollable system. Therefore, an efficient mechanism should be capable of making these faults realizable and act accordingly so that a consistent performance actuator performance qualitative or quantitative index is continuously maintained. In this paper electro-mechanical actuator potential failures are firstly detected and then diagnosed for the application of unmanned aerial vehicles. It includes several scenarios of actuator faults and results which demonstrate the fault conditions and the effectiveness of the detection and diagnosis Kalman based algorithms. It involves the diagnosis strategy to minimizing errors produced due to malfunction in components or inaccuracies in the model. The residuals used are generated using empirical actuator models which are chosen under specific operating regimes.

In this paper a comparison of two different modelled permanent magnet synchronous machines will be shown. A simulation of a vehicle concept with both models will be described and investigated by means of an advanced simulation tool - the SmartElectricDrives (SED) Library - and a Modelica/Dymola simulation environment. The SED library provides the most important electric drive types including controlled electric machines which are described by algebraic and differential equations. Due to this kind of modelling, the machines provide higher flexibility in case of parameter variation and a more realistic behaviour. With the aim of achieving the highest efficiency possible for the automotive drive, which means finding an optimal setting regarding fuel and power consumption, it is necessary to simulate the entire drive train of the vehicle. This includes the internal combustion engine (ICE) as well as electric traction machines or additional electric auxiliary drives. These vehicle simulations may be performed by the car manufacturer to obtain specifications for the vehicle components to be constructed by fulfilling the given boundary conditions like electric machines speed, power and torque and therefore the resulting currents and voltages for the optimal dimensioning of each component.

In the paper a three-dimensional dynamic model of the tire-soil interaction is presented. The power-oriented graphs (POG) technique is used for modelling the system. An important feature of the proposed model is the use of an elastic element for describing the interaction of the tire with the ground. The proposed model solve some particular limits of the Pacejka formulas. For example it can be used also when the car or wheel velocities are zero or when the vehicle is at rest on an inclined surface. Moreover, the skidding and the slipping phenomena that in the Pecejka's formulas are mixed, in the proposed model are kept separate so allowing a more direct correspondence of the model with the physical meaning of the described phenomena. The effectiveness of the proposed model has been tested in simulation on a four wheel car.

In this work a cooler of an internal combustion engine was modeled and evaluated. The model of the cooler was integrated in a simulation model of the entire vehicle. The cooler and the components of the vehicle were physically implemented in Modelica using Dymola. The developed models in Modelica were realized with time domain differential equations. All parameters of the developed models were defined by the mechanical, thermal and geometrical data of the vehicle components. A conventional all-wheel drive vehicle with manual transmission was measured and simulated. The detailed implementation of the cooler components in Modelica will be explained. The behaviour and the physically modeling of the cooler solid and the used media models are presented. The inlet and outlet temperature comparison of the used media (coolant) between the measurement and the simulation will be shown.

To improve the cycle life and efficiency of an energy storage system for HEV, a dynamic control system consisted of a switch between battery and ultracapacitor module and a controller is proposed, which is appropriate for mild hybrid vehicle with 42 V power net. The switch can be controlled based on the status of the battery and the ultracapacitor module, and a control algorithm that could largely decrease the number of high charging current peak is also implemented. Therefore the cycle life of the battery can be improved such that it is suitable for a mild hybrid vehicle with frequent engine start-stop and regenerative-braking. Also, by maximizing the use of the ultracapacitor, the system efficiency during high current charging and discharging operation is improved. Finally, this system has the effects that improves the efficiency of energy storage system and reduces the fuel consumption of a vehicle. To verify the validity of the proposed system, this paper presented cycles test results of different energy storage systems: a simple VRLA battery, hybrid energy pack (HEP, a VRLA battery in parallel with Ultracapacitor) and a HEP with a switch that controlled by energy management system (EMS). From the experimental result, it was proved the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Hybrid vehicles present a real potential to reduce CO2 emission and energy dependency. The simulation of these vehicles is well adapted to highlight the first order influent parameters. However, more realistic components and HEVs performance versus cost could be identified and improved by testing using the HIL concept. This paper deals with the test and validation of a parallel mild-hybrid vehicle with a first HIL configuration presenting a low additional cost. Measured fuel consumption reduction values for the HEV, compared to a given reference conventional vehicle, are presented and discussed.
