We will be allowing the use of the SmartHEV program to be used by other universities in the FutureTruck program. We also are preparing several publications that will be submitted in the next few months. Potential Benefits of the Project SmartHEV has the potential to be a widely used engineering software design tool. It has an easy to understand user interface, ideal for both the novice and expert for making quick design evaluations. The computer code can be modified to match the FutureTruck Suburban.
Users can build their understanding and skills in vehicle simulations and vehicle energy management.
Using SmartHEV to optimize an energy management control strategy can have a significant impact on alternative vehicle emissions and efficiency.
