ECCV Control Benchmark for Sustainable Transport Diploma

This benchmark covers a very challenging control problem for electromobility that will be of benefit for reaching a sustainable transportation system. In the benchmark problem, a simulated electric truck was controlled where hydrogen is the energy carrier and a fuel cell act as an energy converter while a battery is used to support the operation. The benchmark focused on transportation missions with trucks, where the transportation mission must be fulfilled within a given time, but the technology is generic and applicable to all types of vehicles. To fulfill the mission as energy efficient as possible one faces many challenges to propel the vehicle forward. Subsystems have constraints that need to be fulfilled for the operation and durability of the system. Examples of this are computational power as well as the temperature of the fuel cell in combination with its voltage.
