A Methodology for Development of Look Ahead Based Energy Management System Using Traffic In Loop Simulation

Vallur Rajendran, Avinash

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
This thesis details efforts towards developing a methodology that enables the design of a look ahead based energy management system. It explores various technologies that are required to enable such a system to function on a physical vehicle. A new simulation framework known as `Traffic-In-Loop' (TIL) simulation is developed to mimic real-world driving. It serves as a drive cycle independent controls development platform. The framework is enabled by combining microscopic traffic simulation with a detailed mathematical powertrain model. The TIL simulation technique facilitates emulation of on-board sensors, V2X communication and capture causal behavior of real-world scenarios. Data collected from these virtual sensors are used to forecast future drive scenarios -- called `Look ahead predictions'. Further a strategy to integrate future drive scenario forecasts with powertrain control is introduced. The above advances, catalyzed the design of a look ahead based energy management controller, called 'Delta Energy Controller'. It aims at improving a vehicle's fuel economy by utilizing available drive scenario forecasts. Simulation results are used to prove the optimality of this controller and study the improvement in fuel economy as a function of better look ahead predictions.
