• Accelerating the Derivation of Optimal Powertrain Control Strategies Using Reinforcement Learning and Virtual PrototypesModern powertrain complexity has reached a threshold where classical control and calibration.
• Development of a DRL-based framework to create rapid and fair comparisons of novel powertrain concepts for hybrid electric vehicles. Designed to accept any set of constraints (thermal or mechanical) and control the.
• Use of DRL to control a organic Rankine cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery system (WHR) for class 8 vehicles over entire drive cycles. Control oriented moving boundary models of ORC systems break down when all three.
• Enabling real-time non-linear model predictive control (nMPC) using artificial neural networks (ANNs) with modern internal combustion engines. nMPC linearization and computation time can be reduced by modeling complex.
