METHODS AND TOOLS FOR DEVELOPMENT A HYBRID AND INFORMATION CONTROL SYSTEMS OF TECHNOLOGICAL COMPLEX

The relevance of the development of software complexes for the control of technological complex is determined by such trends as the emergence of innovative technologies for the development of computer programs. The power management control system development and vehicle test results for a medium-duty hybrid electric truck are reported in this paper. The design procedure adopted is a model-based approach, and it was based on the dynamic programming technique. A vehicle model is first developed, the optimal control action that maximizes fuel economy, then it is solved by the dynamic programming method. A near-optimal control strategy is subsequently extracted and implemented in the MATLAB XPC-Target rapid-prototyping system, which provides a convenient environment to adjust the control algorithms and accommodate various I/O configurations. Dyno-testing results confirm that the proposed algorithm helps the prototype truck to achieve an impressive 45% fuel economy improvement over the benchmark vehicle This article discusses the possibilities of creating a hybrid system for the possibility of optimal control over the process of burning fuel in a vehicle using intelligent technologies.
