As the number of fuel-cell vehicles on the roads increase, the vehicle designs are gaining more importance. Clearly, one major topic in this field is the optimization of powertrain designs. In this design process, the aim of the car manufacturers is to meet the expectations of the potential customer best, while creating a sustainable product. However, due to several trade-offs in the design, it would be non-realistic to expect a single solution that fulfills all design objectives. Therefore, a systematical approach, which includes a trade-off analysis and evaluation methods for this multiobjective design problem, is required. In this paper, a suitable methodology is presented and applied in a case study, where an optimum powertrain design for a typical European long-range passenger car is sought Simulation-aided powertrain models and scalable component models are used to increase the accuracy of the design process. Furthermore, various visual and quantitative evaluation techniques are applied in order to support the decision making process.

Numerical and experimental analysis of tandem flapping flight Tay, Wee Beng; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Bijl, Hester; ÇETİNER YILDIRIM, NURİYE LEMAN OKŞAN; ÜNAL, MEHMET FEVZİ (2013-06-24) Flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (FMAVs) are equipped with a fixed tail that is primarily used for the achievement of stability and controllability of the vehicle. However, previous research has revealed that the interference between the wake of the upstream flapping wings and the tail is complex and can affect the performance of the FMAVs considerably. Hence, the current study investigates the interaction between a plunging wing and a stationary tail, in a combined experimental and numerical study. The ...
Ablation Analyses of Optimized Nose Tips for Hypersonic Vehicles Onay, Oguz K.; Eyi, Sinan (2020-01-01) An accurate and efficient design optimization method is developed for hypersonic vehicles. For flow analysis, the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes and finite-rate chemical reaction equations are solved implicitly using Newton's method. A gradient-based method is implemented for numerical optimization. Sensitivities are evaluated using the discrete adjoint method. Bezier curves are used for geometry parameterization. The objective of design is to minimize drag while keeping aerodynamic heating below initial values...
Estimation of road freight transportation emissions in Turkey Özen, Murat; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; İnal, Ayhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) To obtain a more sustainable transportation system, it is also important to decrease both fuel consumption and carbon emissions in road freight sector, as well. The first step towards this goal is to determine the current level of road freight demand and related emissions. This is rather challenging in Turkey, because disaggregate commodity flow data does not exist. However, annual roadside axle survey, performed by the Turkish General Directorate of Highways, is a valuable source of circulation information...
Sizing of a series hybrid electric vehicle Arıkan, Fuat Remzican; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) The main aim of this work is to investigate whether a cost competitive hybrid electric vehicle can be designed and under what conditions this can be achieved. For this purpose, first a light commercial vehicle is considered. Its model is developed in ADVISOR environment in Matlab and verified by comparing with the official tests of the vehicle, acceleration and NEDC fuel consumption, namely. Following that, electrical components are searched for rating, dimension, weight and cost through the literature and ...
GIS-based evaluation of the speed limit increase on urban arterial traffic safety in Ankara Kibar, Funda Ture; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-14) Setting safe speed limit is very critical and complex phenomenon, which has to be decided based on the road hierarchy that categorizes roads according to their functions and capacities, and poses certain restrictions in the design process. However, this is challenging in urban regions of developing countries, where rapid city growth forces high-speed intercity roads to serve as urban arterials, along which traditional 50 km/h limit is not practically possible. To lower the speed variation (and provide mobil...
