Abstract: Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) energy management strategies usually ignore the effects from dynamics of internal combustion engines (ICEs). They usually rely on steady-state maps to determine the required ICE torque and ...

Abstract: Reduction of cold start hydrocarbon (HC) emissions requires a proper compromise between low engineout HC emission and fast lightoff of the three way catalytic converter (TWC). In this paper, a hybrid switching system is ...

Abstract: Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust and computationally efficient model-based controller design technique for highly nonlinear systems, in the presence of model and external uncertainties. However, the implementation ...

Abstract: The world of personal mobility is undergoing major changes. The majority of vehicles sold in the U.S. today contain some form of connectivity and driver assistance systems. Both automotive OEMs and major technology/software ...

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a multiphysics system that involves heat transfer, mass transport, and electrochemical reactions to produce electrical power. Reduction and re-oxidation (Redox) cycling is a destructive ...

Abstract: Verification and validation (V&V) are essential stages in the design cycle of automotive controllers to remove the gap between the designed and implemented controller. In this paper, an early modelbased methodology is ...
