Hybrid Electric Vehicle
The HEV powertrain consists of such subsystem as engine, generator, motor, battery, etc and each subsystem has its own control system. With this increasing complexity of powertrain and the need of achieving multiple objectives, a two-level hierarchical control architecture is used. |
Battery management system (BMS) can not only prolong battery life-circle and assure battery functions by inspecting and estimating battery state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-function (SOF) and state-of-health (SOH), but also protect drivers and passengers from electric shock in accidents. |
The omni-directional kart, named “OK-1”, is a hybrid electric vehicle with technology of omni-directional steering, which is designed and developed in the Advance Robotics Lab. It is omni-directional, because it can make crab-like parallel translation and tornado-like rotation. Hence, parking becomes an easy manipulation for even a freshman of driving. |
We are developing an Intelligent Omni-Directional Hybrid Vehicles (IOHEV) based on the technologies of hybrid electric, 4-Wheel drive/4-Wheel steering system and intelligent electronics. It can be applied to solve the problem of energy and emission, to maximize the efficiency of driving and to provide safety driving. |
