A Hybrid Electric Vehicle Transmission Chain Simulator Based on Electromechanical Actuators

抄録

This paper presents a hybrid electric vehicle transmission chain simulator connected to longitudinal vehicle motion. The transmission simulator uses electric actuators to reproduce the mechanical characteristics of a real vehicle engine and its transmission chain. The developed approach allows to validate transmission and vehicle dynamic studies (control of automatic or robotized gearboxes, test of heat engine, dynamic behavior and passenger comfort...) without need to the real transmission system and the real environment of the vehicle. The proposed system is used to carry out a vehicle automated driving for a cruise control test. The control law strategy consists on a first sliding mode. The performances of the controller are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
