A basic study on hybrid systems for small race car to improve dynamic performance using lap time simulation

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle with two or more power sources. We propose a hybrid system in which the engine torque converted by the transmission is combined with an electric motor torque. The proposed system reduces transmission because engine torque only acts during transmission. Furthermore, the...

The proposed system reduces transmission because engine torque only acts during transmission.

The realization of the proposed hybrid system requires independent control algorithms for the two power systems, engine and electric motor, that take into consideration the state of the vehicle and the driver’s input; this system can be assumed to be a servo model system with multiple inputs and outputs and analyzed to obtain the optimal operation algorithm. To apply these controls to race cars, which are required to be fast, it is necessary to obtain the reference input, which is the optimal velocity and yaw angle while traveling the course of the servo system, and simulations of the competition track must be carried out.
