Abstract

The Automotive Research Association India has developed the indigenous software package for the vehicle controller of xEVs.
The package is named as Intelligent Vehicle Controller (ARAI- iVCON) which is the suite of the standard control algorithm used to control the xEV applications.
Especially in case of xEVs, the master vehicle controller is very important since it has to control the demands going to separate systems (like Electric motor, Engine, Battery, etc.).
The efficient controller which controls the power flow as per the
requirement of the vehicle demand and resources available is key for the hybrid operation.

This software package is user friendly configurable solution which will give the control module in MATLAB environment. User has to select the application HEV/EV and input basic parameters of the vehicle. The utility will create controller in soft format as per the application selected and parameters provided.
