DESCRIPTION:
It is intended for persons interested in the analysis and optimization of vehicle propulsion systems. The authors of this text have written a comprehensive introduction to the modeling and optimization problems encountered when designing new propulsion systems for passenger cars. Its focus is on the control-oriented mathematical description of the physical processes and on the model-based optimization of the system structure and of the supervisory control algorithms.
The reduction of the fuel consumption of these vehicles has become a top priority. For such complex systems a heuristic design approach fails. From the Back Cover Automobiles are responsible for a substantial part of the world's consumption of primary energy, mostly fossil liquid hydrocarbons. Many ideas to reach that objective have been presented. . In most cases these systems are more complex than the traditional approaches. This text provides an introduction to the mathematical modeling and subsequent optimization of vehicle propulsion systems and their supervisory control algorithms. The only way to deal with this situation is to employ model-based methods
sc. He received the diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1981 and the Dr. He has actively contributed to the development of hybrid-vehicle activities at IFPEN and he is currently managing research activities on control and optimization for vehicle electrification. Among others, he received the IEEE Control Systems Magazine Outstanding
C. Pavlich said Required Reading for Vehicle Drivetrain Enginerds. This is by far the best book on the topic I have found. If you plan to design or model any vehicle, but in particular a hybrid or electric vehicle, I recommend you own this book.Specifically, a large portion of the mathematical models required for design-level calculations are available directly from the text. The text is very concise, making good use of external citations to remain thorough. Finally, the optimization case studies are very helpful in understanding hybrid design goals.Highly Recommended for engineers and students with some experience in vehicles.
