Latest ArticlesThermal management is one of the key technologies of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) vehicles, which affects the power performance, fuel ecomomy, safety and life of the vehicle. In view of the shortcomings of the traditional thermal management control strategy (on-off strategy), this paper proposes to maintain the inlet and outlet water temperature of the fuel cell system at the target value by controlling the fuel cell thermostat opening and fan speed. The multi-fan speed distribution strategy and control strategy of over temperature treatment, together with PID realize the rapid response of the thermal management system of the fuel cell system. The results show that, compared with the traditional on-off strategy, the optimized PID adaptive regulation strategy can quickly respond to the target operating temperature requirements of the fuel cell system, and enable the fuel cell to run at higher power under extreme working conditions. The battery system and vehicle performance have been greatly improved.
In the early development of vehicle body controller functions among domestic automobile manufacturers, usually texts were used to describe the system design. The dependency between various functions was blurring, and hardly to reuse. With the increasing demand for the number of functional requirements, in order to improve the reuse rate of various functions, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solution is proposed in the industry. This paper excavates the design methodology knowledge of SOA architecture, summarize the practical experience of the design and development of the ambient light subsystem in the body control domain of Voyah automobile SOA platform, expounds the method of using Enterprise Architect (EA) software to complete the design of the system in the body control domain, deliver the development requirements documents and the system functional specifications, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the design efficiency and improving the design quality.
In order to realize carbon neutrality of automotive engine, a new methanol engine concept and framework with the master cylinder and auxiliary cylinder working cooperated with each other is proposed, it integrates internal combustion Rankin cycle, charge transit between cylinders, store energy in gas and fuel reforming technologies. The literature research method is used to analyze the thermo-chemical reforming process of methanol in the activated atmosphere of exhaust gas. With internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), the methanol is reformed to H2, CO and CH4 in the main cylinder to realize the mixture combusts in fusion of methanol and hydrogen. At the same time, the heat of exhaust gas, absorbed by the methanol, is converted into methanol combustion energy. The exhaust gas of the master cylinder is introduced into the auxiliary cylinder to continue combusting. The auxiliary cylinder not only continues the combusting of the master cylinder, but also acts as the post processor of the master cylinder combustion,and the combustion energy is recycled in multiple stages, so as to achieve efficient and clean combusting of the engine.
With the rapid development of domestic economy, there are more and more heavy duty trucks in China. However, the blind area of heavy duty trucks caused a great loss of accidents, among which the right turn blind area is main reason for the accident. In order to reduce the accidnets caused by right turn blind area and provide a solution, under the premise of using AI technology automatic control system, without the traditional way of alerting drivers only by buzzing alarm device. In this paper, a system that contains a millimeter radar and dual voice system aims to warn pedestrians and drivers of impending traffic accident and reduce the probability of accident.
With the increasing level of vehicle automation, there is a growing demand for vehicles to autonomously perform obstacle avoidance in the field of autonomous driving.
