Initiated in the IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC) 2016, the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge has been successfully organized over four versions from 2017 to 2020. This year, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, University of Sherbrooke, University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, University of Québec at Trois-Rivières, and University of Lille are proud to launch the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2021.
The Challenge
The challenge focuses on the design of an energy management strategy (EMS) for a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) electric vehicle (EV) of which the reference model is given from an urban EV developed in the University of Sherbrooke. The participants will develop their EMS to allocate the traction forces between the front and rear axles and also the mechanical and electrical braking forces of each axle.
The ultimate objective of the EMS is to minimize the battery state-of-charge (SoC) depletion respecting the torque constraints of the EDs and the temperature constraints of the battery cell.
Simulation Model
A free MATLAB/Simulink model and control of the vehicle organized by using Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) are provided.
Results
The results will be revealed during March 2021. All participants will receive a participation certificate.
Awards
Each award winner will receive a certificate, an invitation to write and present a paper for IEEE VPPC 2021, and a grant covering certain expenses related to participation and attendance to IEEE VPPC 2021 (conference registration, transport, and accommodation):
First prize: Up to USD 3500
Second prize: Up to USD 1500
Participation
This competition is open to everyone (students, academics, and industry). However, only VTS members are eligible to receive the grant. So join now: https://vtsociety.org/join
If you are not a member at the time of registration, you can still participate and receive a participation certificate.
For more information and full challenge requirements, visit the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2021 website.
