Project 1

AIM:

The task of this project is to compute the fuel economy numbers for the given vehicle (kmpl) on the urban cycle (UDDS) and highway cycle (HWFET). Also, to analyze and understand the vehicle operating

OBJECTIVE:

To develop the vehicle operating conditions. The model has some incomplete those are enigine and vehicle dynamics. Develop these two models and get the outputs from the simulink model. i.e Engine feul consumption, Distance travelled and the velocity of vehicle.In addition to that plot the outputs.

I need to test the vehicle Operation conditions for two different drive cycles. 1.UDDS, 2.HWFET

1. UDDS CYCLE :

Drive cycle is the vehicle velocity over a time.

UDDs stand for Urban dynamometer drive schedule.

It is testing the vechicle how it is driven in a city or urban driven conditions. Initially it starts with cold start and driven in stop and go. we all know that there is so many signals and so much of traffic in city's in that particular conditions this drive cycle is designed.

It is used for mostly for testing the light duty vehicles. from this drive cycle we can know the what is the fuel consumption, emission rate and vehicle thermal conditon in those driving conditions.The speed is set to 50 km/hr.

RESULTS :

Plotting engine torque, engine power, fuel rate and fuel consumption here the max curve shows the fuel consumption for the particular speed and torque values. the fuel consumption is max when the speed of vehicle increases and the fuel flow rate also increases .

In subplotting

Plotting of accelerator and brake pedal, gear command, vehicle desired and actual speed, vehicle distance. The shorter distance the accelaration gets incressed and the vehicle is to be pull overed suddenly usually the brakes are applied to controll the vehicle then vehicle is come zero speed and again started from zero reach some distance and come to zero. There is an ideilling losses in this cycle.

Plotting the time trace for engine, transmission input, transmission output and wheel speed. here in this case input power is more than the output. actually what happens is the input power is trying to match the output power with in a time the vehicle gets pull overed. beacuse of a start-go stop.

2. HWFET CYCLE :

HIGHWAY FUEL ECONOMY TESTING Schedule

This cycle is US based high way cycle it combination of highway driving and Rural. The cycle is started with the warmed up engine cycle is completely free of traffic. This vehicle operates with the sped of 74 km/hr the time interval is also set for the cycle.

RESULTS :

The plots clearly showing that the plots accelaration and bake pedal with the time. In the plotting accelaration is started with heat start and it get down at some stages and raise for different time intervals and the brake is applied in small stages untill the cycle is running through out the time interval.

The plotting input speed is reched to the output speed and there some loss in intial time and after that the vehicle get reached the input what get generated this is a big cycle and the vehicle is operated in those conditions.

CONSLUTION :

Hence the Engine and the vehicle dynamics are modeled in simulink.

The ouput from the model are get saved in workspace

Plotting for different parameters are also done.

The both cycles are having two different cycles may varry the fuel consumption and emission rate.
