Abstract

Introduction to current and future propulsion systems and the electronic control of their longitudinal behavior.

Objective

Moderne Methoden der Systemoptimierung und Regelung am Beispiel "Fahrzeug" kennenlernen. Aufbau und Funktionsweise von konventionellen und neuen Antriebssystemen verstehen und quantitativ beschreiben können.

Content

Understanding of physical phenomena and mathematical models of components and subsystems (manual, automatic and continuously variable transmissions, energy storage systems, electric drive trains, batteries, hybrid systems, fuel cells, road/wheel interaction, automatic braking systems, etc.). Presentation of mathematical methods, CAE tools and case studies for the model-based design and control of propulsion systems with the goal of minimizing fuel consumption and emissions.
