車用控制系統開發
Vehicle Control System Development
電動車中的關鍵角色，電機(馬達)、電池和電控，俗稱三電系統。其中電控系統亦可稱為電動車的大腦，掌控車上各次系統的偕同運作。
本研究針對車用控制系統進行車輛控制單元(Vehicle Control Unit, VCU)的開發，以達成車輛能耗與性能的要求(如能源管理策略、車輛安全功能設計等)。同時對VCU的功能進行測試與驗證，以滿足相關法規之要求。
The electric powertrain in the EV dominates the vehicle's performance. They execute the control commands from the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and provide the neccesary control on the vehicle. The energy management and the functional safety are crucial in a VCU to meet the vehicle requirements. The development of VCUs is, therefore, an active research area in vehicle control.
電驅系統開發與驗證
Electric Powertrain Design and Validation
電動車是以電力驅動系統(簡稱電驅系統)產生的動力推動車輛，本研究領域主要針對電驅系統的架構之優化和各元件的動力匹配(如動力馬達、動力電池)進行研究，在車輛開發前期完成電驅系統的設計。
除此之外，針對設計開發出來的電驅系統進行測試與驗證，以滿足電驅系統的測試法規與相關驗證流程。
The electric vehicle is propelled by the traction motor and the corresponding transmission, which is generally known as e-powertrain. The validation of the e-powertrain is important to ensure the design of the power unit performance and the integration of each component in the e-powertrain.
整車開發與驗證
Vehicle Development and Validation Provess
車輛的開發工作往往牽扯許多系統層級的整合，常常耗費龐大的測試時間與成本。因此以Model-based Design(基於模型的設計)方法將可大幅減少開發時間，這樣的開發流程便為V型開發流程(V cycle development process)。
本研究領域為遵照V型開發流程進行各型車輛的開發與驗證，包括大型貨車、特種車輛、三輪車等等創新行動交通載具的開發，進行硬體在環測試驗證(Hardware-in-the-Loop Validation)等相關車型的設計開發工作。
There are many components and sub-systems are integrated in a vehicle. To save the development time and cost, the Model-Based-Design (MBD) method is introduced to further improve the design quality. Such method often follows the V-shape design flow, known as "V cycle development process." In this research topic, we endeavor to improve the development process in more efficient and intelligent ways for all types of vehicles, such as the heavy duty trucks, ticycles, etc., and further validate in terms of the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) validation.
