Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
EcoCAR 3 is a part of the Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition series hosted by the Department of Energy, and it challenges 16 North American university teams to re-engineer a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and turn it into a hybrid electric vehicle, thus improving the environmental impact of the car while retaining its performance aspects. The Ohio State University’s EcoCAR 3 vehicle has a plug-in hybrid architecture, with operation in series and parallel power flows. The architecture features a 5-speed manual transmission that was automated by the team to retain the efficiency of a manual transmission while providing the convenience of an automatic transmission. The team-developed controllers manage the clutch and shift actuators to provide supervisory control of the automated manual transmission. The simplicity and efficiency of a manual transmission combined with the advantages provided by the hybrid architecture make it a good candidate for an HEV. This thesis provides an overview of the modeling, component testing, and controls development for the AMT system. The controls development includes high level control for vehicle launch, gearshift process, and strategies used in different hybrid vehicle operation modes.
