| ABSTRACT |
|
This study introduces a modeling approach to forecast brake operational limits in fuel cell heavy-duty trucks using field test data. Traditional braking system evaluation, which relies on time-consuming and costly field and dynamometer tests, is challenged by the complexity of fuel cell heavy-duty trucks, particularly the interaction between the braking and energy systems facilitated by regenerative braking. By utilizing data-driven models, this research significantly reduces the complexity of modeling these systems. The developed model, validated against real-world downhill driving scenarios, demonstrates an exceptional accuracy rate of approximately 99% in forecasting brake limit points. This method not only offers a highly reliable tool for forecasting brake operational limits but also helps optimize vehicle design and efficiency, contributing to the advancement of sustainable transportation solutions. |
