It’s not easy to start the engine in winter, especially in frigid highlands, because the low temperature increases the fuel’s viscosity, decreasing the lubricating oil flow ability and the storage performance of battery. Current electrical heating method can improve the engine starting performance in low temperature condition, but this method adds an external power to the engine, leading to the engine cannot maintain an efficient energy utilization. A warming device using the solar energy is designed to conserve the energy during the daytime, and directly warm up the engine at the time when the engine turns off for a long time, especially during the night. A solar collector installed on the top of the vehicle is used to convert the solar energy to the thermal energy, which is then transferred to the heat accumulator that contain the phase-change medium which can increase the heat storage performance.

Eddy current retarder (ECR) shares a large market of auxiliary brakes in China, but shortcomings of the short continuous braking time and the high additional energy consumption are also obvious. The propose of combined braking partakes the braking torque of ECR. However, the existed serial-parallel braking strategy could hardly balance well the relationship between the braking stability and the energy recovery efficiency.

And the recovered energy is priority for using in the braking unit to reduce the additional energy consumption in this strategy.

Nowadays, off-highway vehicles enjoyed a significant status in the national defense and civil construction. There is no doubt that the working conditions of off-highways are quite different from the conventional passenger cars, hence, their suspensions are particularly designed. Since the hydro-pneumatic suspension technology is maturely applied in engineering machinery, this paper presents a concept for a novel energy-harvesting device, which is applied in off-highway vehicles based on hydro-pneumatic suspension, namely, electro-hydraulic energy-harvesting suspension (EHEHS).

The sweeping vehicle has made a great contribution to the cleaning of urban roads. The traditional electric sweeping vehicle uses the main and auxiliary motors to drive the driving system and the operating system respectively. However, because the sweeper is in a low-speed working condition for a long time, and the drive motor must meet the demand for high power, there exist problems of low motor utilization and high cost.

As a key tool to maintain urban cleanliness and improve the road environment, road cleaning vehicles play an important role in improving the quality of life of residents. However, the traditional road cleaning vehicle requires the driver to monitor the situation of road garbage at all times and manually operate the cleaning process, resulting in an increase in the driver 's work intensity. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a road garbage recognition algorithm based on improved YOLOv5, which aims to reduce labor consumption and improve the efficiency of road cleaning. Firstly, the lightweight network MobileNet-V3 is used to replace the backbone feature extraction network of the YOLOv5 model.

In order to overcome hysteresis and dead zone problems caused by friction for the proportional solenoid valve, and improve rapidity and stability of the pneumatic system on hydraulic retarder, a closed-loop control strategy based on valve coil current was proposed. The high-frequency low-amplitude dither signal was introduced into the proportional solenoid valve. With the proper dither signal, the stick-slip motion of the valve core was transformed into a steady one, and its dynamic performance was improved. Consequently, response time of retarder was reduced during gear changing. The proportional valve coil current was measured as a feedback for a closed-loop control strategy. Combining with the closed-loop strategy, the PI control algorithm was adopted to make sure that valve current was in accordance with the target value. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal was used for the driving of proportional solenoid valve.

In recent years, research on car-like robots has received more attention due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence from diverse disciplines. As essential parts, path planning and lateral path tracking control are the basis for car-like robots to complete automation tasks. Based on the two-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamic model, this study profoundly analyzes the car-like robots’ path planning and lateral path tracking control. Three objectives: path length, path smoothness, and path safety, are defined and used to construct a multi-objective path planning model.

The non-contact overload recognition method refers to the method of detecting the vibration state of the vehicle through visual recognition without touching the vehicle, and then calculating the vehicle load in combination with the vehicle dynamics model to determine whether the passing vehicle is overloaded. Due to the convenience of detection, low cost of infrastructure and informatization, this method has great advantages in the field of overload identification. However, the model used in this recognition method is the single mass vibration model at present, which will have a large error due to the interaction between the front and rear suspension, and the position of the center of mass needs to be acquired in the recognition process, which is difficult in the actual identification process. In this paper, a vehicle vibration model containing two modes of vibration is proposed, and uses Sobol algorithm to analyze the parameter sensitivity of the model.

Then, establishing a weighted squares estimation model based on particle swarm optimization to identify the dynamic mass of the vehicle.

In the Formula Student Electric China (FSEC), the body structure is generally divided into two types, truss steel tube body and carbon fiber load-bearing body (monocoque). The monocoque is loved by Formula Student teams around the world because it has a higher stiffness and lighter weight than the truss steel tube body. With the widespread application of monocoque, it also brings more problems. Due to the use of the monocoque, the connection between each component and the body was changed from the welding of the original truss steel pipe frame to a bolted connection. However, the bolted connection will provide a large preload force to the monocoque, resulting in the monocoque easily crushed in the local, so it is necessary to pre-bury an enhanced part in the monocoque to ensure the connection strength, that is, the embedded part. At present, aluminum plug-ins after topological hollow processing are being used.
