This paper proposes a method that is based on ANN for monitoring of the vehicle behavior. Considering the control loop of driver-vehicle-environment a driver should perceive the environment and the vehicle behavior by processing received information from the environment and feedback from the vehicle. The precession of the driver’s percipience is the critical element in such case. In this study, an ANN is applied for perception and prediction of the vehicle dynamic performance. Several relevant parameters from the vehicle and the environment, such as accelerator pedal travel and road grade, serve as information for the prediction. After training of the network with the measured data from a test vehicle, the network will be used for prediction of the driving speed. The comparison of the measured driving speed with the predicted speed can indicate the actual performance of the vehicle, see Figure 1.

The battery pack is one of the core components of pure electric vehicle, dynamic performance of the whole vehicle is closely related to the matching design of the battery, and is affected by the air resistance coefficient and the windward area of the whole vehicle. The dynamic indicators include maximum driving speed, 0-100km/h acceleration time and climbing grade, the battery parameters are designed and matched before the vehicle design, mainly analyze influence on the vehicle dynamic performance of the types of batteries, air resistance coefficient, windward area by the simulation software ADVISOR, and optimize the combination of these parameters. The results show that the dynamic performance of the vehicle reaches the initial design index and the dynamic performance of the vehicle is improved significantly.

In order to reduce the negative effect of lightweighting of suspension components on vehicle dynamic performance, the control arm and torsion beam widely used in front and rear suspensions were taken as research objects for studying the lightweight design method of suspension components. Mesh morphing technology was employed to define design variables. Meanwhile, the rigid–flexible coupling vehicle model with flexible control arm and torsion beam was built for vehicle dynamic simulations. The total weight of control arm and torsion beam was taken as optimization objective, as well as ride comfort and handling stability performance indexes. In addition, the fatigue life, stiffness, and modal frequency of control arm and torsion beam were taken as the constraints. Then, Kriging model and NSGA-II were adopted to perform the multi-objective optimization of control arm and torsion beam for determining the lightweight scheme. By comparing the optimized and original design, it indicates that the weight of the optimized control arm and torsion beam are reduced 0.505 kg and 1.189 kg, respectively, while structural performance and vehicle performance satisfy the design requirement. The proposed multi-objective optimization method achieves a remarkable mass reduction, and proves to be feasible and effective for lightweight design of suspension components.

In order to improve the performance of a new type of full hybrid electric bus, this paper puts forward a set of coordinated control method to adjust the operation of the engine and two motors. In the engine start-stop logic control, comprehensive consideration of SOC, the speed of the bus and the accelerator pedal stroke are performed, while hysteresis control is introduced to improve the stability of the control; In the engine working point adjusting control, not only the engine speed command rate of change was optimized, but also the output torque rate was optimized to match the air injection and exhaust, etc. Further, the method based on dynamic constraints was used to optimize the working point adjustment process. At present, there are hundreds of busses operates in route. Results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the control method. The vehicle has good fuel economy, and the dynamic performance and driving comfort are also greatly improved.

The current accelerated developments within the automotive sector have triggered a series of performance, comfort, safety and design-related issues. Hence, oftentimes manufacturers are challenged to combine various elements so as to achieve an attractive design, without diminishing the vehicle’s dynamic performance. In order to determine the vehicle dynamic performances we carried out an analysis by two methods. In the first part of the paper, we have used the analytical method to establish the dynamic performances of a vehicle. The second part of our study addresses another method to determine the star performances of the vehicle by means of computerized simulations. The first test aimed to determine vehicle starting performances for two vehicle models, with similar technical configuration, but with the same initial data. In the second test, we aimed at determining the start performance for the same car model, with the same initial data, but for different adhesion coefficients

Pneumatic linear peristaltic actuators can offer some potential advantages when compared with conventional ones. The low cost, virtually unlimited stroke and easy implementation of curved motion profiles are among those benefits. On the downside, these actuators suffer high mechanical stress that can lead to short service life and increased leakage among chambers during the actuator lifetime. One way to cope with this problem is to impose the force—instead of the displacement—between rollers, as this has been shown to improve the endurance of the hose while reducing leakage during the actuator lifetime. This paper presents closed control loop results using such a setup. Previous studies with linear peristaltic actuators have revealed that, although it is possible to reach zero steady state error to constant references with closed loop control, the dynamic response obtained is very slow. This paper is mainly focused on this topic, namely on the development of several control laws to improve the dynamic performance of the system while avoiding limit cycles. The new developed control law leads to an average time of 1.67 s to reach a 0.1 mm error band in an experiment consisting of a series of 16 steps ranging from 0.02 to 0.32 m in amplitude.

The track vertical irregularities are the originator of the vertical vibrations in the wheelset. These vibrations are further conveyed to the suspended masses of the vehicle, thus generating and maintaining their vibrations. The study of the vibrations behavior of the wheelset plays an important role in the research dealing with the improvement of the vehicle dynamic performance, mainly at high velocities. This paper examines the vibrations behavior of the wheelset during running at speed of up to 200 km/h on a track with stochastic vertical irregularities, which are mathematically represented via the power spectral density. As underlain on numerical simulations, a series of basic features of the wheelset vertical vibrations will stand out, in correlation with the velocity, track quality and its damping. The observations herein prove that the maximum level of vibrations is visible at the frequency resonance of the wheelset on the track. Similarly, it is evident that the wheelset vibrations behavior increases during the running at high velocities on a track with weak damping and low quality.
