A control program was designed with Unity 5 virtual reality application in the automotive and robotics field. Thus, a virtual model of a robotic car was tested in a virtual reality program. After optimization, the smart controller was implemented on a specific model of the automated Chevrolet Camaro. The main objective of the present paper is to design a control program model to be tested in virtual reality and in a real-size car. Results concerning the virtual modeling of an automated car and its artificial intelligence controls have been presented and discussed, outlining the forces, torques, and context awareness capabilities of the car.
The present paper develops an experimental study that highlights some aspects of fuel consumption in engine's cylinders in order to outline the influence of engine's management system and operating conditions upon economy and fuel consumption, with corresponding effect on sustainability and adequate socio-economic development. The present work makes a theoretical and applied enquiry in the system features from Euro 5 diesel engine management in relation with fuel consumption and different driving scenarios. There were closely monitored engine temperatures, driving stiles and the values displayed ON-BOARD-DIAGNOSIS screens. The importance and opportunity for experimental inquiry of the fuel consumption and economy problems in compression ignited engine resides in the state of the art equipment and managing systems available today for monitoring all the engine's activities and for making possible to outline the economical operating regime, in order to reduce undesired losses. The experimental data are analyzed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
