Full Hybrid Track Vehicle

Project Title

Full Hybrid Track Vehicle

Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject Summary

Three versions of hybrid-electric vehicle propulsion systems are currently evaluated under different programs. The “Series Hybrid Electric Drive (HED)” decouples the diesel engine from the wheels, driving each axel or wheel by an electrical motor. Typical examples of Series HED are the AHED and SEP combat vehicles, developed for future armored vehicle programs, and the future tactical truck (FTTV). This configuration is viewed as more suitable for weapon carriers, missile launchers (such as HIMARS, LOSAT, Patriot and MEADS). Elimination of the heavy mechanical drive train reduces the total weight of the vehicle and enables more flexible “packaging” of a mission system. Further advantage is the ability to be stationed on “silent watch” for extended periods or driven in “stealth” movement (battery powered). This feature is absent from comercial ‘hybrid cars’ applications, due to the high cost of battery and motors, required for extended propulsion of the vehicle. 

Project Objectives

Our group is working in the electrical part of the above mentioned "Full Hybrid Track Vehicle".Following are some of our main objectives that we are going to work on.

1. Conceptual / System Design of Full-Hybrid Tracked Vehicle (FYP-I)

2. Modeling & Simulation of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-II)

3. Component matching of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-II)

4. Assembling of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc on to the Vehicle Structure made by Group-1(FYP-II)

5. Testing & Debugging of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-III)

6. Testing & Debugging of complete Full-Hybrid Tracked Vehicle (FYP-III)  

Project Implementation Method

Our main project is the "Full Hybrid Track Vehicle".In this project our group (Comprising of 3 members) is working on the electrical part  of the vehicle.

Our job s quite important and requires nerves and technical abilities ,on which we are working hard and we are keenly observing the technical aspects , dos' and donots of the job.

We are primarily working on the driving the vehicle using batteries,dealing with generators and working on all the aspects related to electrical system of the car.

We are fully utilizing thestate of the art instruments available in our university labs as well as from outside.

Benefits of the Project

If we look at the nature of our project we come across its importance, use and change that it can produce in the society.

Following are some of the major benefits of our project.

• Less relience on the petroleum.
• Safe and effective movement.
• Silent mode operation which is useful for security purposes
• Renowation in Hybrid technalogy.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

As per our goals and commitment we are confident that we will be able to reach our goal within the identified period  of one year.

At this time we are on the final stage of our first step i.e the theoratical model , calculations and documentations.

Shortly after this we are going to on the practical implementation of the project.
