Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Future vehicles are expected to be electrified. High levels of vehicle electrification is deemed promising for addressing the issues in resource scarcity and pollutant discharge. The characteristic of electric drive configuration also brings the advantages of high dynamic response, expected maneuverability, and improved safety. Recently, the booming advancements in V2X techniques enable more information past and present in electrified vehicles’ application, providing more improved rooms of state estimation, control, and fault diagnosis to further improve operation effects. For example, benefiting from the information of future surrounding vehicles, vehicle motions can be planned beforehand in a safety- and efficiency-oriented manner.
Nevertheless, to make the above happen, several challenges still need to be addressed by research communities. As a multi-component coupling device, highly nonlinear vehicle system dynamics also lead to huge difficulties in state estimation and system control, which limits performance improvements. With the increasing utilization rate in vehicle electrification, the vehicle’s reliability demands are also raised, resulting in the requirements of timely fault diagnosis and effective scheme of fault tolerance. Additionally, under the V2X scenarios, the implementations of expected effects highly rely on the utilization ratio of reliable information, framework applicability of strategies, and so forth.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest technologies for design, modelling, estimation, control, and application for all kinds of electrified vehicles.
The topics of interest include but are not confined to:
- Novel propulsion architectures for electrified vehicles to enhance the effects of energy efficiency and maneuverability.
- Advanced estimation of vehicular sub-systems’ dynamics (e.g., battery, motors, fuel cells) and short-term/long-term driving conditions, road conditions, motion states, to improve the operation effects.
- Control strategies, including powertrain power flows optimization, vehicle dynamics control, ecological adaptive cruise control, motion planning, fleet management, and more.
- Diagnosis and fault-tolerance scheme of energy sources, sensors, and actuators to conduct drive safety, energy economy, lifetime extension, and so on.
- Exploitation of V2X techniques in parameters sizing, state estimations, and control.
- Advanced modelling and simulation approaches to improve the developments of vehicle functions, including digital-twin techniques and implementations, high-efficiency program framework design under embedded platform.
- Application cases for ground vehicles (cars, buses, tracked vehicles, and e-bikes, etc.) under structured/ unstructured roads, underwater robots, vessels, aircrafts, and so forth.
