Modelling and control of a medium-duty hybrid electric truck
(2004)
The main contributions of this paper are the development of a forward-looking hybrid vehicle simulation tool, and its application to the design of a power management control algorithm, The hybrid electric vehicle simulation ...
Combined optimisation of design and power management of the hydraulic hybrid propulsion system for the 6 × 6 medium truck
(2004)
Hybrid propulsion systems are one of the critical technologies on the roadmap to future ultra-efficient trucks. While there is a significant body of work related to hybrid passenger cars and light commercial trucks, there ...
Fuel cell APU for silent watch and mild electrification of a medium tactical truck
(2004)
This paper investigates the opportunities for improving truck fuel economy through the use of a Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (FC APU) for silent watch, as well as for powering electrified engine accessories during driving. ...
Design under uncertainty and assessment of performance reliability of a dual-use medium truck with hydraulic-hybrid powertrain and fuel cell auxiliary power unit
(2005)
Medium trucks constitute a large market segment of the commercial transportation sector, and are also used widely for military tactical operations. Recent technological advances in hybrid powertrains and fuel cell auxiliary ...
Simulation-based optimal design of heavy trucks by model-based decomposition: An extensive analytical target cascading case study
(2004)
We present the findings of an extensive case study for the decomposed, simulation-based, optimal design of an advanced technology heavy truck by means of analytical target cascading. The use of a series hybridelectric ...
Target cascading in vehicle redesign: A class VI truck study
(2002)
The analytical target cascading process is applied to the redesign of a U.S. class VI truck. Necessary simulation and analysis models for predicting vehicle dynamics, powertrain, and suspension behaviour are developed. ...
Analytical target cascading for the design of an advanced technology heavy truck
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a methodology that can be used during the early development stages of large and complex systems for propagating desirable overall product targets to appropriate individual specifications ...
Integrated, feed-forward hybrid electric vehicle simulation in SIMULINK and its use for power management studies
(2001)
A hybrid electric vehicle simulation tool (HE-VESIM) has been developed at the Automotive Research Center of the University of Michigan to study the fuel economy potential of hybrid military/civilian trucks. In this paper, ...
