Steer-by-wire/Hệ thống lái không trục lái

Abstract/tóm tắt

In this project, a method to reproduce realistic driving feeling and improve the returnability of steer-by-wire systems (SBW) is proposed by measuring the roadwheel motor’s current directly. The key contribution presented here is a novel method to recreate the driving feeling in term of force feedback with simple and cheap current sensors. A current sensor is used to fully measure the steering torque on the rack of steering mechanism. This measured steering torque therefore, includes the overall effects of road conditions, aligning moments, tire properties and so on. Beside that, a free control scheme is proposed to improve returnability as well as the handwheel stability in a free motion. Moreover, during this research, the significant frequency effect of handwheel motions was found. This effect could be useful and valuable for improving steer-by-wire development based on torque-map based method. This method is investigated with simulation results using the control design and simulation module in LabVIEW programming language. The simulated results show that this method offers a cheaper and simpler solution for the development of steer-by-wire systems. In addition, stability and returnability of handwheel in steer-by-wire systems could be improved.

Obverve-by-wire system for forklifts based on haptics/Hệ thống nhìn qua dây cho xe nâng công nghệ haptics

Abstract/tóm tắt

This paper proposes a new concept of a haptic user interface for forklifts. The haptic interface is developed including valuable features and we named it “Observe-By-Wire” (OBW), which can give operators maximum visibility for safe operation. Particularly, the use of a OBW can help human to overcome the problems related to the blind spots caused by the mast configuration of forklifts. The OBW transmits distance information between forks and obstacles tooperator in term of force feedback information. It is expected to be useful in emergency cases such as: moving large boxes, lack of illumination in warehouses. We have created OBW system, modeled the fork and its operations. Experiments were carried out with a group of seven subjects. The experimental results indicated that the OBW system can improve the visibility and operating performance of forklift’s drivers. In particular, The OBW could give a haptic-based interaction channel between the drivers and vehicles regardless to the height of masts as well as intensity of illumination.

Advanced DC motor control/Điều khiển nâng cao động cơ DC

Abstract/tóm tắt

In this paper, a novel speed control algorithm of DC motors is presented. The key contribution here is a simple speed controller only with speed feedback and without an inner current control loop. This is possible by adjusting the reference speed based on a certain rule. Therefore, the proposed speed controller here becomes simpler while maintaining the control performance. Moreover, with the proposed controller, the system response can be tuned with less complexity. This proposed control method is investigated both mathematically and experimentally.

Keywords - DC motor control, speed control of motor, robust control of DC motor, angular velocity control.

 

Result

In this research, a novel and simple robust control algorithm of motor’s speed was proposed. The proposed method has an advantage in both noise reduction and simple tuning method. Moreover, this controller does not require an inner loop current control. The feasibility of the proposed method was demonstrated with mathematical analysis and experimental results.

Hybrid Vehicle Simulation/Mô phỏng năng lượng xe lai

Abstract/tóm tắt

This report is to provide simulation result of hybrid electric vehicle. In particular, the simulation is constructed with a series hybrid electric vehicle. Users can load different speed profiles, set simulation parameters, and simulation settings. The software will automatically calculate and generate graphs related to motor power, on/off status of the internal combustion engine (ICE).

 

Result

In this project, a energy flow simulation of  hybrid electric vehicle is completed. Friendly and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed. To utilize this simulation, users may input the speed profile of vehicle, vehicle parameters in the GUI.  Then users can observe the required power for the vehicle, ICE operating status, and so on.
