Research

Experience "Front/Rear Axle Torque Split Limits for Vehicle Stability

Control" (final project UVIC)

. Used Simulink to create a vehicle model. Performed vehicle

model simulations during acceleration and deceleration to

determine limits on the vehicle controller for torque

splitting between front and rear axle to prevent the vehicle

from slipping at longitudinal and lateral motion with and

without differential braking system engaged.

Projects "Belt Alternator Starter (BAS) motor DFMEA" (3rd semester UVIC)

. As part of a team and as a project under the EcoCar 2

project at University of Victoria, performed DFMEA, FTA

analysis and controls implementation of the fault mitigation

strategy for the Hybrid Chevrolet Malibu vehicle BAS

motor.Used Simulink to create a series hybrid vehicle model

to simulate the control strategy developed.
