   Modelling and simulation of human operator dynamics by human / vehicle interaction using neural network
By B. Dobrucky; I. Feno; J. Buday; M. Alexik [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Future requirements of vehicle control dynamics especially cars, (technical systems in common) requires to consider not only needs but also ability of human operator's more systematically when selecting among the multitude of possible design alternatives of human/vehicle environment. More recent information and automation technologies including graphics (graphic display) and systems on decision making support have the potential to change vehicle control towards a new quality of automation and co-operation, which can be entitle "decision making in human/vehicle system". Striving for these design goals seems to be necessary in order to meet higher quality for operator/vehicle behaviour, operations safety in the system human/vehicle traffic situation and environmental compatibility by vehicle operations. This calls such design approaches, which take into consideration and also exploit physical psychological and intellectual human reason.

   Real-time simulation of electrical vehicle motor drive on a PC cluster
By C. Dufour; S. Abourida; J. Bélanger [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents a real-time motor drive simulator capable to accurately simulate a double IGBT bridge inverter connected to an induction motor through an interphase transformer. The simulator also includes a DClink model with regeneration capability and two choppers. The paper will detail the implementation of the model and simulation results and timing. The whole system, with external I/O IGBT fiber optic gate signals, executes in real-time at 80 µs time step under the RT-Lab real-time distributed simulation software on a PCcluster composed of 3 Pentium processors running at 1 GHz. The same model, but this time with only one bridge and no interphase transformer, runs in real-time at 65 µs time step.

   Traction induction drive for railway
By S. I. Volsky; E. V. Syroezhkin; A. V. Lamanov; D. V. Chuev; A. V. Ostrovsky [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents the computer simulation and comprehensive dynamic processes of the induction motor with three-phase power inverter for traction application analysis. The control with proportional variation of amplitude and frequency of the power inverter are realized. The computer simulation of the considered traction drive on the basis of CASPOC software is executed. Computer CASPOC models of the induction motor, three-phase power inverter, control circuits and equivalent circuit of mechanical load are presented. Different control laws during acceleration of the traction induction drive and their influence on dynamic behaviour are researched. Transients of the traction induction drive with impulse and harmonic input voltage of the induction motor are compared. The procedure to design of the traction drive control with improving dynamic and power characteristics is offered.

   thermal modelling, simulation and characterization of a high-temperature converter for automotive applications
By K. Oila; M. Ciappa; N. Seliger; W. Fichtner [View]
[Download]

Abstract: An optimized thermal management is of paramount importance when developing efficient and reliable converters for automotive applications. In this paper, we present an application of a new technique to predict the time-dependent temperature of an Integrated Starter Generator operated according to the standard NMVEG driving cycle. It is shown that this methodology brings advantages in terms of increased reliability, reduction of the costs, and shortening of the design cycle.
