Engineers develop complex hybrid vehicle control systems to optimize performance, fuel economy, and emissions. |
Creating and developing successful control systems require attention to details such as:
Individual subsystems Subsystem assemblies Subsystem interaction
Rapid Prototyping Electronic Controller System
Engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) develop control systems for numerous applications. SwRI has developed a controller known as RPECS™ (Rapid Prototyping Electronic Controller System) and also does control system development
using industry standard systems such as dSPACE.
Engineers put all the pieces together, including:
Modeling and simulation Rapid prototyping System integration Calibration Production controller specification Testing Full powertrain component and system modeling and simulation capabilities for conventional and hybrid vehicles Performance and emission development in test cell and vehicle Automated test cell data acquisition and mapping Integrated powertrain control Integrated hybrid vehicle control In-vehicle networks—CANbus, MODBUS Component specification and sourcing Wiring and prototype harness design and assembly Full-emission certification capability for vehicle- and test cell-based, light- and heavy-duty test cycles
