Descrizione FRAMEWORK
Significant research efforts in reducing CO 2 and pollutant emissions from the transport sector are currently ongoing. To this aim, several technologies are under investigation, among which the electrification of the powertrain will surely play a significant role in the next decades. However, considering that fully electric vehicles are still facing limitations in terms of driving range, costs, needed infrastructure and safety, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which include an internal combustion engine (ICE) and one or more electric machines, are expected to play a significant role in the near future. This is particularly true for light-duty and heavy-duty applications, for which diesel engines remain the most competitive solution. Therefore, research efforts in improving their environmental impact are still ongoing.
The present thesis work will be carried out within this framework, and will be focused on the development of a dynamic model of a light-duty hybrid vehicle in GT-SUITE environment.

THESIS DESCRIPTION
 Task 1. Literature research concerning the state of the art in dynamic modeling of light-duty hybrid vehicles.
 Task 2. Development of a dynamic model of a light-duty vehicle in GT-suite environments, starting from an already developed model of a conventional light-duty vehicle.
 Task 3: Assessment of the model and integration of a simple-rule-based strategy for the energy flow optimization
