PROJECTS

Active Suspension Design

Re-engineered a passive suspension system using LQR for state feedback and observer for state estimation

Introduced ramp, sinusoid, rectified sinusoid, and random inputs to test the efficiency of the suspension design

Established settling time of <1.65 seconds and minimized overshoot to <7.5%

Intelligent Cruise Control Design

Modeled a PI velocity controller with safety standards of overshoot <5% and SSE <10-5

Incorporated an LQR for headway controller to safely maintain a distance of >=1.5m

Implemented switching mechanism using Stateflow while delivering 100% bump-less transfer of control

Fuel Control in SI Engine with Port/Direct Injectors

Formulated a feedforward transient controller in conjunction with smith predictor PI controller (14 & 14.64 AFR)

Administered 50% fuel supply from port injectors and direct injectors with <%5 overshoot and <0.025% SSE

Configurable Hybrid Electric Learning Module (CHELM)

Created the control module for CHELM vehicle using state flow in Simulink consisting of 7 sub-models

Supervised the real driving scenario, diagnosed and debugged >60% underlying code faults

Crank time test – Engine state test – Driving mode test – Motor direction test – Blend factor test

Electronic Throttle Control via CAN module

Administered pedal to control throttle body via CAN module with 100% accurate data transfer

Payload manipulation – ID filtering – Real-time calibration – CANKing to monitor data transferred

CAFE and CO2 Regulations for OEM vehicle Fleet Technologies

Proposed and formulated fleet size complying with CAFE regulations

Revamped vehicles with suspected technologies to meet future fleet CAFE standards

EV Driveline performance, and regenerative braking test

Built a vehicle model to obtain top speed, armature current, battery current, and power loss in Simulink

Model implementation for Actual and Desired velocity testing – Duty cycle test – Battery SOC test

Simulated downhill test for regenerative braking and evaluated an increase in SOC from 50-54%
