Engineering Faculty Intrnship: Automotive Powertrain Control

该项目的主要目标是为汽车动力总成系统开发一种综合控制设计方法。该项目将从汽车动力总成系统的通用建模开始，这样开发的模型就可以用来描述许多典型的汽车动力总成系统。特别是，我们将开发一种建模策略，利用和扩展从动力总成部件的物理和静态数据拟合中获得的现有模型，以导出集成动力总成系统的面向控制的动态模型。该项目在为更好的动力系统控制和性能提供建设性的设计工具方面具有实际意义，这是以更低的成本生产更好的汽车以保持美国汽车工业在国际市场上的竞争力的核心问题。＊＊＊

9412471 Wang The main objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive control design method for automotive powertrain systems. The project will start with the generic modelling of automotive powertrain systems such that the models developed can be tuned to describe many typical powertrain systems in automobiles. In particular, we will develop a modelling strategy which exploits and extends the existing models obtained from physics and static data fitting of powertrain components to derive control-oriented dynamic models of integrated powertrain systems. The project will be of practical importance in providing constructive design tools for better powertrain control and performance, which is a central concern for producing better cars at lower cost to maintain the competitiveness of the U.S. automotive industry in the international market. ***
