Supplying enough power and energy during vehicle operation is one of the key elements in competitive automotive industry. In other words, providing the feeling of smooth operation brings the vehicle a step further when compared to its competitors. So, the main goal behind this research is to examine vehicles with three different powertrain systems and observe their behavior over different drive cycles. Vehicle performances are analyzed under different categories such as consumption (i.e., electricity, fuel), economic perspective, and emission point of view. Since vehicle electrification is a hot topic in Turkey, researchers add a real-life road simulation of Istanbul-Adapazarı Road into perspective alongside regulative drive cycles to try and provide an insight of BEV and HEV behavior, in detail. All three vehicles are modeled on MATLAB/Simulink and the outcomes of simulations are presented in this study.
In parallel with the rise of Industry 4.0 and the developments experienced with digital transformation, there are striking differences in the concept of innovation in terms of process and effect. It is a fact that engineers have a strategic importance in transforming the changes and developments in the fields of informatics and technology, where great leaps have been experienced, into innovations in a way that creates value. Engineers examine the terms of perceptions and perspectives in this adaptation process and 120 engineers with different educational backgrounds in Turkey were surveyed in this study to assess the diversity of the innovative vision under examination. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)software was used for the stages of analysis.
Innovation is a concept which sheds a light on scientific and technological improvements in today's world. To keep up with these fast and dynamic changes within the mindset and applications of technology, engineers should be conscious and open to innovation. The purpose of this paper is to study Turkish engineering students from a select university on their perception of novelty and self-innovativeness. To gather data, a survey formed by thirty four questions is directed to students from different engineering disciplines. Acquired data is analyzed via SPSS 21 and detailed according to demographical information provided by the participants such as their department, age and gender. Moreover, to see the reliability of the study Cronbach's Alpha coefficient is calculated. Found results are compared and discussed with sample studies from literature. Also possible ways of increasing innovative knowledge among bachelor's students of engineering faculties are discussed in this paper.
With decrease in amount of carbon fuels and aims of creating a cleaner environment, researches on hybrid electric vehicle technology have increased in years. The purpose of this study is to observe the change in fuel consumption of a simulated hybrid electric vehicle in different driving cycles. For this research, a series hybrid electric vehicle is modelled on MATLAB/Simulink. Subsequently, for simulating the tour of the vehicle, multiple driving cycles are modelled on the software and fed to vehicle model. For instance FTP-75, NEDC and UDDS are benefited and also a route from Turkey, the road from Istanbul to Ankara is modelled and simulated. Behavior of the vehicle on this route is also observed. After analyzing vehicle behavior in all these cycles, fuel consumption in each case is calculated and compared. As the result of this research, the most affordable cycle for this vehicle model is selected and possible ways of decreasing fuel consumption in other driving cycles is discussed.
