Kolodziejak, D.P.H. (author), Pham, T.H. (author), Hofman, T. (author), Wilkins, S. (author)This paper develops an optimization framework to minimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). In this paper, TCO is the summation of operational and main vehicle powertrain components cost. The developed optimization framework is formulated via combining convex optimization and Dynamic Programming...conference paper 2019

Willems, F. (author), van Gompel, P. (author), Seykens, X. (author), Wilkins, S. (author)This work gives an outlook on the potential of automated driving functions (ADFs) to reduce real-world CO2 and pollutant emissions for heavy-duty powertrains. Up to now, ADF research mainly focuses on increased traffic safety, driver comfort, and road capacity. Studies on emissions are lacking. By taking the driver out-of-the-loop, cycle-to...conference paper 2019

Romijn, T.C.J. (author), Pham, T.H. (author), Wilkins, S. (author)In this paper, a modular equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) framework for hybrid vehicles is proposed. The approach is based on applying the dual decomposition to the ECMS optimal control problem. This allows the optimal control problem to be decomposed into smaller optimization problems related to each of the subsystems, for...conference paper 2019

Bouwman, K.R. (author), Pham, T.H. (author), Wilkins, S. (author), Hofman, T. (author)Within hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) predictive energy management strategies (EMSs) have the potential to reduce the fuel consumption compared to conventional EMSs, where the drive cycle is unknown. Typically, predictive EMSs require a future vehicle speed profile prediction. However, when prediction is inaccurate, the systems fuel reduction...article 2017
