Abstract: Highly automated vehicles (HAVs) must be rigorously evaluated before they are deployed on public roads. An accelerated evaluation framework was proposed in the literature to test HAVs more efficiently. However, running ...

Abstract: The pretransmission parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a single electric motor requires relatively little changes from existing powertrain configurations. This configuration, however, has a challenging drivability ...

Abstract: Planetary gear (PG) powersplit hybrid powertrains have been used in producing hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicles from the Toyota, General Motor, and Ford for years. Some of the most recent designs use clutches to enable ...

Abstract: Hybrid tracked vehicles are common in construction, agriculture, and military applications. Most use a series hybrid powertrain with large motors and operate at a relatively low efficiency. Although some researchers have ...

Abstract: Correct-by-construction techniques, such as control barrier functions (CBFs), can be used to guarantee closed-loop safety by acting as a supervisor of an existing legacy controller. However, supervisory-control intervention ...
