. Type of business or Automotive

sector

. Occupation or System and Software engineer

position held

. Main activities and I'm working in the R&D automotive area. We develop

responsibilities hybrid and electric propulsion systems for many Italian

and European automotive producers (I.e: Ferrari,

wolksvagen, Piaggio, magna etc

I'm developing an embedded control for an IPM motor for

an electric car project with BMW.

I'm also the person in charge for the headquarter

regarding the high level software.

This software is implemented on a micro controller

(PowerPC). The aim of this controller is to regulate

the torque commanded to the motors in order to

implement the specifications of the costumers for fuel

consumption, pollutant emissions and vehicle

performance.

I'm also responsible for the software development

process in the company.

position held

. Main activities and Test Activities on new prototypes of the costumer:

responsibilities Tests done directly on the vehicle not only looking for

performances but also for any wrong operations in the

control logic implemented.

Programming and calibrating of the VCM (Vehicle Control

Module) which rules and oversee all the behaviors of

the vehicle: Accurate study of the costumer needs in

order to create a data set for the controller able to

satisfy the features requested.

Remote problem solving activity: using simulation tools

any wrong behavior is corrected. Then the procedure of

correction is sent to the costumers.

Collaboration with specialized workshops IVECO:

Maintenance on vehicle already sold that need a direct

intervention on the control unit in the vehicle.

Training course: Matlab&Simulink.

. Occupation or researcher on mechanics and control strategies

position held

. Main activities and Main goal of my project was to design a control strategy

responsibilities for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).

This control strategy is able to find the optimal torque

split between the electric machine and the engine. The

optimal solution is the one that reduce fuel consumption

(or pollutant emission).

The controller development can be divided in four

phases:

1: Develop of a numerical model and then a vehicle

simulator of the vehicle able to reproduce the mains

powertrain dynamic behavior. Each component (engine,

motors, battery, gearbox...etc. ) has been modeled using

characteristic curve and first order equation. Then each

block (each component) has been integrated each other to

create the whole powertrain.

2: Model validation using a matching with data captured

during a mission. This phase gives the opportunity to

test the simulator in order to understand how good is

the modeling and the integration of each competent. A

very important part of model validation is taken to test

the engine behavior in term of power delivered and fuel

consumption.

3: Control strategy design using the minimization of a

target function. The target function is made by two

terms: the energy spent by the engine (fuel) and the one

spent by the motor (stored or taken into the battery).

The optimization problem is made by the reduction of the

target functions keeping some constrains (engine and

motor limits, battery charge-sustaining, driver power

demand). Torque split between engine and motor is the

degree of freedom of the problem. So, for each instant

the solution of the problem is the best torque split

that minimize the target function. This strategy does

not need long calibration session because it is

sufficient to define the function keeping into account

the powertrain architecture. In this controller design

the focus is to reduce the fuel consumption but it is

also possible to focus it on pollutant emission

reduction.

4: Control strategy testing on a hybrid electric

vehicle. Tuning and testing of the control strategy was

long around 50 hours. During this phase has been

modified the vehicle drivability tuning the curve

between the accelerator pedal sensor and the driver

power request.

Education and training

. Name and type of Polytechnic of Milan

organization providing

education and training

. Principal Thesis: "High-level modeling and supervisory control

subjects/occupational strategy development for a hybrid-electric vehicle"

The course aims at forming a second level automation

skills covered engineer; namely, a professional able to design,

implement, develop or manage devices, apparatuses and

system meant to make as operator-independent as

possible the behavior of machines, plants, production

processes, public utility services and networks. Focus

is therefore primarily set on integrating information

technology with standard engineering fields in order

to foster innovative solution to a wide variety of

technical problems posed by contemporary industrial

societies. The outline of the overall course of studies

is partially elective blending of disciplines meant to

provide a mix of current professional expertise with

other subject areas, application as well as

theoretically oriented, characterized by a deeper

scientific flavor.
