Vehicle Propulsion Model Development for Pure Electric Vehicle Using Drive By Wire System2022-01-011903/29/2022
The present work focuses on developing a data-driven forward facing propulsion system model for Chevrolet Bolt 2019 EV vehicle. The model built in the study gives simulated results of the vehicle propulsion system dynamics and latencies when the necessary inputs of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are known. Vehicle acceleration and braking characteristics are captured and built into the models in the shape of response maps function of vehicle speed and percentage pedal input. With the necessary inputs of APP and BPP, the model predicts the vehicle state in terms of axle torque and speed. The response maps are developed by performing specialized regression testing of the vehicle using New Eagle Drive By Wire system at the American Center of Mobility, (ACM) proving grounds. The model is validated by using track testing data around the ACM proving grounds and using the model to estimate the vehicle speed for various drive cycles containing normal and aggressive drive cycles by

Combined Longitudinal and Lateral Control for Automated Lane Guidance of Full Drive-by-Wire Vehicles2015-01-032104/14/2015
This paper presents a simultaneous longitudinal and lateral motion control strategy for a full drive-by-wire autonomous vehicle. A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) problem is formulated in which the nonlinear prediction model utilizes a spatial transformation to derive the dynamics of the vehicle about the reference trajectory, which facilitates the acquisition of the tracking errors at varying speeds. A reference speed profile generator is adopted by taking account of the road geometry information, such that the lateral stability is guaranteed and the lane guidance performance is improved. Finally, the nonlinear multi-variable optimization problem is simplified by considering only three motion control efforts, which are strictly confined within a convex set and are readily distributed to the four tires of a full drive-by-wire vehicle. Simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed controller to follow the reference trajectory while adjusting the vehicle speed

Objective Driveability Development of Motorcycles with AVL-DRIVE2014-32-002011/11/2014
Originally developed for the automotive market, a fully automatic real-time measurement tool AVL-DRIVE is commercially available for analyzing and scoring vehicle drive quality, also known as “Driveability”. This system from AVL uses its own transducers, calibrated to the sensitivity and response of the human body to measure the forces felt by the driver, such as acceleration, shock, surging, vibration, noise, etc. Simultaneously, the vehicle operating conditions are measured, (throttle grip angle, engine speed, gear, vehicle speed, temperature, etc.). Because the software is pre-programmed with the scores from a multitude of different vehicles in each vehicle class via neural networks and fuzzy logic formula, a quality score with reference to similar competitor vehicles is instantly given. This tool is already successfully implemented in the market for years to investigate such driveability parameters for passenger cars. Due to the fact that electronic systems more and more find their

Low Cost Fault Tolerant and Redundant Multiplex Wiring System for Automotive Applications2004-01-157203/08/2004
A low cost fault tolerant and redundant multiplex wiring system specifically designed for automotive applications is described in this paper. Although there are many multiplex wiring systems are being used to simplify the car wiring harness, but very few are low cost, fault tolerant and redundant at the same time. Most of the system address mainly the protocol and software issues and neglected the reliability of the multiplex wiring system. This paper addresses the fault tolerant and redundancy of the system and use hardware based integrated circuit to convert from parallel to serial at the transmitter side and serial to parallel at the receiver side.

Analysis of a F1 Car Hydraulic Circuit Dynamic Behavior2001-01-116203/05/2001
This paper deals with the study of the dynamic behavior of a F1 car gear selection hydraulic circuit, when involved in different shift transients. In the first part of the paper the actual circuit is described, and the main hypotheses adopted for the numerical modeling of the hydraulic power unit, of the control valves, of hydraulic pipes and of the actuators involved in the gear shift cycles are introduced. Particular attention is devoted to the actuators actual sequences, as applied by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to the servo-valves deputed to actuators control. The strategy to define each gear shift cycle in terms of actuators working position in time domain is chosen, using the frequency map of each servo-valve. A numerical vs. experimental comparison of the behavior of the actuators involved in the gear selection (during about 50 ms for an up shifting and 100 ms for a down shifting) is performed, with the target to define the validity limits of the numerical model results

Influencing Dynamic Handling Response with Manipulation of Advanced All Wheel Drive Systems2000-01-346012/04/2000
Trucks and sport utility class vehicles are established as choice of daily transportation in the US. A new breed of vehicles, commonly referred as “crossover vehicles”, based on passenger car derived platforms, are rapidly filling in the ranks between trucks and automobiles. Most of these vehicles are equipped with relatively sophisticated all wheel drive systems. This sophistication is necessary to fulfill the target mission of these vehicles, to provide an automatic and effortless all wheel drive capability while retaining refined on road comfort. Building on some of the existing systems and sensors, and integrating with other vehicle systems such as ABS, traction control and stability control systems, it is possible to enhance handling response by creating a moment along yaw axis. Pitch and roll movements can also be indirectly influenced. Further possibilities and enhancements will be feasible when drive by wire systems and active suspensions will become available. While most of

The Driving Need for Human Factors in the Car of the Future2000-01-307508/21/2000
The car of the future will be very different from that which we know today - no longer just a mechanical transportation device, but a mobile communications and entertainment platform providing many new functions and services to the occupants. The use of cellular telephones whilst driving is already a source of major concern and further legislation regarding phone usage will undoubtedly be forthcoming. The future will also add display based navigation, internet access, e-commerce and other location dependent services which will increase the drivers cognitive load. We will also see driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance warnings and vision enhancement systems which will change the driving task and could potentially reduce cognitive load almost to the level of autopilot monitoring. As the nature of the in-vehicle activity therefore evolves from being a perceptual-motor driving task to that of a communications and vigilance task (set against a

Passive Learning; Putting Simplicity Back Into Driving95195808/01/1995
The future of automotive transportation is very promising with many exciting systems and features designed to enhance customer comfort, convenience and safety. That technology will be meaningless if it is not designed to be readily accepted and easily understood by the customer. A passive system that quietly and unobtrusively “learns” driver tendencies and preferences and uses that knowledge to adjust various vehicle systems will minimize customer apprehension about new technology and increase it's acceptance and usage. Future transportation technology must be designed to adapt to each customer's expectations and abilities or we are apt to receive messages like ..... Disc Error On Driver One!
