Intelligent Environmentally Friendly Vehicle: Concept and Implementation

摘要

A concept of intelligent environmentally friendly vehicle (i-EFV) is proposed in this paper. It integrates threernfunctional components, i.e. clean energy powertrain, electronically controlled chassis and advanced driver assistance system.rnBy employing the technologies of structure sharing, sensor fusion and control coordination, it can achieve morerncomprehensive performances of traffic safety, fuel efficiency and environmental protection. Based on the definition andrnconfiguration of the i-EFV, some key technologies including design for resource effectiveness, driving environmentrnidentification and coordinated control are studied. As a basic application, a platform of intelligent hybrid electric vehicle (i-rnHEV), which incorporates hybrid powertrain with driver assistance system, has been designed and implemented. Thernsimulation and experimental results demonstrate that the conceptual vehicle has better performance than a conventional one.
