Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The air we breathe is getting dangerously polluted with passenger vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles being one of the major sources of this pollution, producing significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other harmful gases. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has laid stringent rules and aggressive policies to curb this pollution. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) are a promising option considering their efficient operation and reduced emissions. These technologies are being developed at a rapid pace and can occupy a significant place in the automotive market. Companies are investing heavily to enhance the skills of future generation of engineers to develop these technologies through student competitions and workshops. EcoCAR Mobility Challenge (ECMC), a four-year Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition (AVTC) is one-way companies are pursuing this challenge. ECMC challenges teams to apply advanced propulsion systems, as well as connected and automated vehicle technology to improve the energy efficiency, safety, and consumer appeal of a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer – specifically for the carsharing market. The work described in this thesis focuses on the Model Based design approach adopted for the vehicle plant model and controls development during years one and two of the competition. The process includes the vehicle architecture selection process, component and soft ECU model development and finally describes the framework developed for testing of the control algorithm using an example of a fault scenario.
