Abstract: An energy storage system based on a combination of batteries and ultracapacitors for rail-guided shuttle is investigated. The control schemes according to the various power requirements in shuttles and the differing characteristics of these storage devices are proposed to manage the energy and optimize the power supply system performance. The power electronic converters connecting ultracapacitors, batteries and DC-link are studied. Simulation and measured results are presented, revealing that the separation of the dynamic load from batteries yield improvements in lifecycle, availability and long term costs and volume.

Abstract: An overview of different methodologies for the simulation of vehicle drive systems will be expounded. The simulation tools are able to assess conventional vehicles with an internal combustion engines as well as advanced vehicles such electrical driven vehicles (EDV), like battery, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles. Advantages and drawbacks of the different approaches will be highlighted. Finally comprehensive approach will be proposed. Since years ago the automotive industry and several research institutes have developed simulation models to evaluate vehicle performance, fuel consumption and emissions. These models are principally developed for internal combustion engine vehicles. Furthermore several research institutes have developed dedicated simulation models for special applications or case studies of e.g. a specific hybrid dive train. In this paper an overview will be given of the different approaches. The simulation methodologies will be compared with VSP, Vehicle Simulation Programme, developed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel [1,2,3,4].

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present a new control algorithm for improved the stability of a hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) with four independent driving wheels. The proposed system is designed with three control levels assuring a hierarchical intervention in concordance with detect symptoms using specific sensors. The control system has an original algorithm which integrates the new electromechanical devices: ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) ESP (Electronic Stability Program). Several simulations will be presented at the end of the paper in order to assess the potential of such a system.
