AB  - For a given internal combustion (IC) engine stationary test plan, significant time savings during its realization could be achieved if the sequence of test points execution is adequately determined. The criterion for stabilizing the engine operating point is determined by the magnitude of the change in the most inert parameter, and in the general case, it is the temperature of the engine exhaust gases. A certain level of prior knowledge about the examined object is necessary to conduct such an analysis. If there are no results from previous tests, simulation models, or experiences, the Slow Dynamic Slope (SDS) tests are a great way to quickly gather the necessary information. The task of finding the optimal sequence for a stationary engine testing plan can be set as Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). This paper will present the application of one of the heuristic methods for solving the TSP on the example of testing the IC engine, which is a very complex dynamic system. Following this model, it is possible to optimize the stationary test plan for any other dynamic system. The basic idea is to find such a sequence of stationary operating points, during the realization of which a minor deviation of the engine exhaust gas temperature is obtained, resulting in the operating point's shortest stabilization time.

AB  - Significant research efforts are invested in the quest for solutions that will increase the fuel economy and reduce the environmental impacts of ICE-powered vehicles. The main objective of the study presented in this paper has been to analyze and assess the performance of a control methodology for a parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain system of a transit bus. A simulation model of the vehicle has been calibrated by analyzing data obtained during an experiment conducted in real-world traffic conditions aboard a Belgrade transit bus. A Dynamic Programming optimization procedure has been applied on the calibrated powertrain model and an optimal configuration that minimizes the fuel consumption has been selected. A Neural Network-based, implementable control algorithm has then been formed through a machine learning process involving data from the optimal, non-implementable Dynamic Programming-based control. Several Neural Network configurations have been tested to obtain the best fuel economy for the range of conditions encountered during normal transit bus operation. It has been shown that a considerable fuel consumption reduction on the order of 30% could be achieved by implementing such a system and calibration method.

AB  - The paper presents the results of research into the possibility of using a mixture of various types of biodiesel
fuel with standard diesel fuel of mineral origin in a mixture ratio of 50:50, labelled B50, on a diesel engine
with direct injection intended for small agricultural machinery driving. The analysis was performed in terms
of comparing the pressure flow in the cylinder and the dynamics of the combustion process over the heat
release flow in the engine cylinder. It was found that with the specified fuel mixture ratio in the mixture there
were no major changes in the pressure flow in the cylinder and the heat release process, which indicates that
the given fuel mixture ratio can be used without problems to power this class of engine in long-termoperation, without fear of possible harmful consequences for the engine.

Hibridni pogonski sistemi koji, pored motora sa unutrašnjim sagorevanjem, obuhvataju i dodatnu pogonsku mašinu i alternativni akumulator energije, nude velike mogućnosti u pogledu uštede goriva. Od presudne važnosti za ostvarivanje potencijalnih ušteda jesu optimizacija funkcionalnih i upravljačkih parametara sistema. Predmet ove disertacije jeste eksperimentalno i teorijsko istraživanje u oblasti optimizacije hidrauličnog hibridnog pogonskog sistema namenjenog pogonu vozila javnog gradskog prevoza putnika. Važna odlika takvih sistema ogleda se u upotrebi hidro-pneumatskih akumulatora koje karakterišu niske vrednosti specifične energije. Upravo zato, javlja se potreba da se pažljivim izborom parametara akumulatora omogući maksimalno prikupljanje energije kočenja u fazama voznog ciklusa kada će i rezultujuće uštede u potrošnji biti najveće. Formiranjem detaljnog simulacionog modela hidrauličnog hibridnog pogonskog sistema, izvršeno je određivanje uticaja mase elastomerne pene, pritiska prednaprezanja i radne zapremine hidro-pneumatskog akumulatora na stepen korisnosti pogonskog sistema u celini. Takođe, ispitana je mogućnost primene metoda zasnovanih na neuronskim mrežama u procesu izvođenja i primene optimalnog upravljačkog algoritma. Na osnovu snimljenih voznih ciklusa, formiran je optimalan algoritam upravljanja upotrebom referentne metode dinamičkog programiranja koji je potom upotrebljen kao ulazni skup podataka za treniranje veštačkih neuronskih mreža različitih konfiguracija. Primenom funkcionalne optimizacije i predložene metode upravljanja, postignuto je smanjenje potrošnje goriva od 23,9% u smeru kretanja 1 i 25,5% u smeru kretanja 2 i stepen optimalnosti upravljačkog algoritma od 83,7% i 79,8%, respektivno.
AB  - Great scientific and engineering effoorts are being invested in improving the fuel economy and emission performance standards of powertrain systems amid ever-increasing legislative pressure. Hybrid powertrain systems, comprising a conventional internal combustion engine and an additional prime mover and its corresponding energy storage system, offeffoer great opportunities for fuel economy improvements. However, functional and control parameters optimization is of crucial importance in order to achieve the full extent of potential improvements. The subject of this dissertation is experimental and theoretical investigation into the ficeld of optimization of a hydraulic hybrid powertrain system intended for the propulsion of a transit bus. TheTheese hybrid propulsion solutions employ hydro-pneumatic accumulators for energy storage, which are characterized by low specific energy values. Because of this, it is of crucial importance to carefully choose the accumulator parameters in order to harness the maximum amount of regenerative braking energy during the deceleration phases that will yield the greatest fuel economy improvement. A comprehensive simulation model of a hydraulic hybrid powertrain system has been devised, which has allowed for the determination of the influfluuence of elastomeric foam mass, preload pressure and accumulator capacity on the resulting powertrain system efficfficciency and the potential fuel savings. For maximizing the achievable fuel savings, a neural network-based control algorithm trained using the optimal control trajectories derived using Dynamic Programming has been investigated. By applying the functional and optimal control optimizations presented in this dissertation, average fuel savings of 23.9% have been achieved in direction 1 of the transit bus driving cycle and 25.5% in direction 2. TheTheese ficgures represent 83.7% and 79.8% of the fuel economy improvements obtained using the unimplementable Dynamic Programming algorithm, respectively.

Upravo zato, javlja se potreba da se pažljivim izborom parametara akumulatora omogući maksimalno prikupljanje energije kočenja u fazama voznog ciklusa kada će i rezultujuće uštede u potrošnji biti najveće. Formiranjem detaljnog simulacionog modela hidrauličnog hibridnog pogonskog sistema, izvršeno je određivanje uticaja mase elastomerne pene, pritiska prednaprezanja i radne zapremine hidro-pneumatskog akumulatora na stepen korisnosti pogonskog sistema u celini. Takođe, ispitana je mogućnost primene metoda zasnovanih na neuronskim mrežama u procesu izvođenja i primene optimalnog upravljačkog algoritma. Na osnovu snimljenih voznih ciklusa, formiran je optimalan algoritam upravljanja upotrebom referentne metode dinamičkog programiranja koji je potom upotrebljen kao ulazni skup podataka za treniranje veštačkih neuronskih mreža različitih konfiguracija. Primenom funkcionalne optimizacije i predložene metode upravljanja, postignuto je smanjenje potrošnje goriva od 23,9% u smeru kretanja 1 i 25,5% u smeru kretanja 2 i stepen optimalnosti upravljačkog algoritma od 83,7% i 79,8%, respektivno., Great scientific and engineering effoorts are being invested in improving the fuel economy and emission performance standards of powertrain systems amid ever-increasing legislative pressure. Hybrid powertrain systems, comprising a conventional internal combustion engine and an additional prime mover and its corresponding energy storage system, offeffoer great opportunities for fuel economy improvements. However, functional and control parameters optimization is of crucial importance in order to achieve the full extent of potential improvements. The subject of this dissertation is experimental and theoretical investigation into the ficeld of optimization of a hydraulic hybrid powertrain system intended for the propulsion of a transit bus. TheTheese hybrid propulsion solutions employ hydro-pneumatic accumulators for energy storage, which are characterized by low specific energy values. Because of this, it is of crucial importance to carefully choose the accumulator parameters in order to harness the maximum amount of regenerative braking energy during the deceleration phases that will yield the greatest fuel economy improvement. A comprehensive simulation model of a hydraulic hybrid powertrain system has been devised, which has allowed for the determination of the influfluuence of elastomeric foam mass, preload pressure and accumulator capacity on the resulting powertrain system efficfficciency and the potential fuel savings. For maximizing the achievable fuel savings, a neural network-based control algorithm trained using the optimal control trajectories derived using Dynamic Programming has been investigated. By applying the functional and optimal control optimizations presented in this dissertation, average fuel savings of 23.9% have been achieved in direction 1 of the transit bus driving cycle and 25.5% in direction 2. TheTheese ficgures represent 83.7% and 79.8% of the fuel economy improvements obtained using the unimplementable Dynamic Programming algorithm, respectively.",

AB  - Requirements regarding high fuel efficiency, low pollutants and CO2 emission impact of the internal combustion (IC) engine results in high control calibration complexity. Modern IC engines are equipped with numerous electronically controlled subsystems, whose usage leads to almost exponential growth of stationary operating points that need to be evaluated and optimised. In that perspective, the methodology for fast pre-knowledge acquisition of examined system is presented through the application of Slow Dynamic Slope experiments – SDS. Continual slow change of a control parameter excites the system, in such a way, that allow obtaining of an approximately stationary operating regime, without the time-consuming operating point settling period. By analysing stationary-based approximation results of Slow Dynamic Slope experiments, conducted within the IC engine global operation domain (engine speed and load), certain zones could be identified. Within those zones, increased number of stationary tests is desirable in order to provide a more precise approximative model of observed engine output parameters. In this way, relatively fast dynamic SDS experiments could be used to optimise the stationary-based test plan leading to overall time savings dedicated to IC engine testing.

AB  - Sa povećanjem obima i broja zahteva koje savremeni motori SUS moraju da zadovolje, drastično se povećavaju potrebe za razvojnim resursima. Povećanjem dimenzionalnosti upravljačkog sistema motora SUS, ukupan broj upravljačkih parametara raste, što za posledicu ima značajno usložnjavanje procesa optimizacije s obzirom na približno eksponencijalno povećanje broja mogućih kombinacija diskretnih vrednosti upravljačkih parametara. 
Plan stacionarnog ispitivanja motora SUS se formira na osnovu prethodno stečenog znanja o ispitivanom objektu. U ovom radu analizirana je jedna od metoda dinamičkog ispitivanja motora na osnovu koje se nivo predznanja proširuje radi formiranja kvalitetnijeg i efikasnijeg plana ispitivanja. Predmetna metoda se zasniva na sporoj promeni jednog globalnog upravljačkog parametra, dok se ostali zadržavaju na konstantnom nivou. U literaturi se ovakav vid dinamičkog ispitivanja naziva Slow Dynamic Slope (spor dinamički nagib - SDN). S obzirom na to da je motor SUS izrazito nelinearan i dinamički sistem, u radu su analizirani rezultati ispitivanja dva različita pristupa sprovođenja dinamičkog eksperimenta. Prva kategorija SDN sekvenci započinje stacionarnim radnim režimom, dok drugu kategoriju čine sekvence sa isključivo dinamičkim karakterom tj. sa potpunim odsustvom ustaljenog upravljanja.
Za potrebe ovog istraživanja, variran je parametar opterećenja motora po nagibnoj funkciji različitih gradijenata. Na osnovu dinamičkih odziva, tj. srednje linije karakterističnih ovojnica merenih signala (posmatranih u domenu varirane pobude), formirne su aproksimacije koje u većoj ili manjoj meri opisuju stacionarni odziv posmatranog sistema na delu gobalnog radnog polja motora SUS.

Pokazano je da postoje određene oblasti globalnog radnog polja motora SUS u okviru kojih bi bilo poželjno povećati gustinu stacionarnih radnih režima kako bi se formirali precizniji aproksimativni modeli. Takođe, zahvaljujući ovako stečenom predznanju, moguće je formirati približno idealan redosled ispitivanja posmatrano sa aspekta minimizacije neophodnog vremena stabilizacije za niz stacionarnih radnih režima predviđenih planom ispitivanja motora SUS u laboratorijskim uslovima.
AB  - With ever-increasing demands that modern internal combustion (IC) engines must meet, needed development resources drastically increases as well. Higher dimensionality of the IC engine control system, results in a significant complexity of the optimization process, due to the approximately exponential increase in the total number of possible control parameters value combinations. 
The plan for stationary testing of the IC engine is formed based on the previously acquired knowledge about the tested object. In this Dissertation, one of the dynamic engine testing pre-knowledge acquisition methods is analyzed, with the goal of obtaining a better and more efficient stationary test plan. This method is based on a slow change of one global control parameter, while the others remain at a constant level. In the literature, this type of dynamic testing is called Slow Dynamic Slope (SDS). Given that the IC engine is a highly nonlinear and dynamic system, the Dissertation analyzes the results of two different approaches to conducting a dynamic experiment. The first category of SDS sequences begins with a stationary operating mode, while the second category consists of sequences with an exclusively dynamic character, i.e. with a complete absence of (quasi-) steady state engine management.
For the scope of this research, the engine load parameter was varied according to the slope function of different gradients. Based on dynamic responses, i.e. middle lines of characteristic envelopes of measured signals (observed in the domain of varied excitation), stationary base approximations are formed, which, to some extent, describe the stationary response of the observed system on the global IC engine operation field. Thus, a relatively short-term dynamic test, allows for the collection of a large amount of information on the approximate stationary characteristics of the tested engine, and this information can be used to further upgrade the stationary test plan.
It has been shown that there are certain areas of the global IC engine operation field within which it would be desirable to increase number of stationary operating points in order to form more precise approximation models. Also, thanks to the acquired pre-knowledge, it is possible to form an almost ideal test sequence from the aspect of minimizing the necessary stabilization time for a number of stationary operating regimes defined by the test plan, and thus perform laboratory IC engine testing in more effective way.

AB  - Significant research efforts are invested in the quest for solutions that will increase the fuel economy and reduce the environmental impacts of ICE-powered vehicles. The main objective of the study presented in this paper has been to analyze and assess the performance of a control methodology for a parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain system of a transit bus. A simulation model of the vehicle has been calibrated by analyzing data obtained during an experiment conducted in real-world traffic conditions aboard a Belgrade transit bus. A Dynamic Programming optimization procedure has been applied on the calibrated powertrain model and an optimal configuration that minimizes the fuel consumption has been selected. A Neural Network-based, implementable control algorithm has then been formed through a machine learning process involving data from the optimal, nonimplementable Dynamic Programming-based control. Several Neural Network configurations have been tested to obtain the best fuel economy for the range of conditions encountered during normal transit bus operation. It has been shown that a considerable fuel consumption reduction on the order of 30% could be achieved by implementing such a system and calibration method.

The main objective of the study presented in this paper has been to analyze and assess the performance of a control methodology for a parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain system of a transit bus. A simulation model of the vehicle has been calibrated by analyzing data obtained during an experiment conducted in real-world traffic conditions aboard a Belgrade transit bus. A Dynamic Programming optimization procedure has been applied on the calibrated powertrain model and an optimal configuration that minimizes the fuel consumption has been selected. A Neural Network-based, implementable control algorithm has then been formed through a machine learning process involving data from the optimal, nonimplementable Dynamic Programming-based control. Several Neural Network configurations have been tested to obtain the best fuel economy for the range of conditions encountered during normal transit bus operation. It has been shown that a considerable fuel consumption reduction on the order of 30% could be achieved by implementing such a system and calibration method.",

AB  - A dynamic programming optimization algorithm has been applied on a transit bus model in MATLAB in order to assess the fuel economy improvement potential by implementing a hydraulic hybrid powertrain system. The numerical model parameters have been calibrated using experimental data obtained on a Belgrade's public transport bus. This experiment also provided the representative driving cycle on which to conduct simulation analyses. Various functional parameters of a hydraulic hybrid system have been evaluated for obtaining the best possible fuel economy. Dynamic programming optimization runs have been completed for various hydraulic accumulator sizes, preload values and accumulator foam quantities. It has been shown that a fuel economy improvement of 28% can be achieved by implementing such a system.

AB  - Alternative propulsion fuels for diesel engines were highlights for a variety
of research activities within a large number of R&D labs in the world.
Curiosity, as well as basic interest in alternative fuel has been immense
because of its reproducibility, renewability, as well as good ecological
characteristics. Another reason for this interest is a favorable impact on
the economies of the countries engaged in their production, by processing
that kind of bio fuel. This paper presents the results of testing and research
of the three types of alternative fuel gained from bio oil. Analyses and
comparison of the dynamics of combustion process of these alternative
fuels were done in relation to the reference diesel fuel. Burning process of
methyl esters rapeseed (RME100), soya oil (SME100), waste cooking palm
oil (PME100), as well as of regular euro diesel fuel were investigated. It
was found that these fuels were highly usable in diesel engines if they had
been produced according to a proper standard procedure under standard
EN 14214. The application of bio fuel is also very interesting for the
propulsion of agricultural engines and machinery, because it enables the
individual farming of bio fuel products necessary for the appropriate own
machinery.

AB  - In contemporary transport sector and especially in the agricultural production, there is a large
possibility of using alternative engine fuels. In the case of agricultural applications, the largest number of
agricultural machinery's propulsion engines is diesel, which allows the use of various vegetable oils as
propellants. However, this implies that these vegetable oils have been treated by appropriate esterification
procedures and adapted for smooth use in engines. Such fuels are generally called biodiesel as well. This
paper will present some results of an investigation of the combustion process of rapeseed methyl ester of
a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine designed to drive smaller agricultural machinery, thus
engines. The results of the research are presented in the variant of the charged engine, whereby the
charging process was performed by an external energy source (electromotor and Roots compressor) under
laboratory conditions.

AB  - Great research efforts are invested in the quest for solutions that will increase the fuel economy of ICE-powered vehicles. The main objective of the study presented in this paper has been to analyze the ultimate fuel economy improvement potential of a transit bus by implementing a hybrid electric powertrain system utilizing an ultracapacitors-based accumulator. A simulation model of the vehicle has been calibrated by analyzing data obtained during an experiment conducted in real-world traffic conditions on a Belgrade transit bus. Apart from serving as the input for the powertrain parameters identification procedures, the acquired data also served as the basis for defining the driving cycle that will be used in numerical simulation studies. A Dynamic Programming optimization procedure has been applied on the hybrid powertrain system model in order to assess the ultimate fuel economy improvement potential. The optimization procedure has been executed for various hybrid powertrain parameters and component sizes, allowing the optimal choice of design decisions, in particular the energy accumulator size. Initial study shows that considerable fuel consumption reduction in excess of 30% can be achieved.

A Dynamic Programming optimization procedure has been applied on the hybrid powertrain system model in order to assess the ultimate fuel economy improvement potential. The optimization procedure has been executed for various hybrid powertrain parameters and component sizes, allowing the optimal choice of design decisions, in particular the energy accumulator size. Initial study shows that considerable fuel consumption reduction in excess of 30% can be achieved.",

AB  - The main topic of this paper is presentation of methodology for process identification and mathematical modeling of a nonlinear dynamic system, such as an IC engine, based on the experimental data acquired during base engine calibration in terms of ignition timing. With the introduction of certain assumption, mathematical model generated in this way could be used for verification of potentially optimal look-up tables and for look-up tables smoothing. For this type of time-series modeling, nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs will be used and full-factorial sweep of limited set of neural network parameters will be analyzed. Guidelines for mathematical model formation, verification and idea of stationary-based engine calibration will be briefly outlined. Comparison between measured and modeled engine torque will be shown alongside with instructions for further research on this topic.

AB  - This paper includes comparative analysis of the environmental, energetic, and financial costs of different bus propulsion, possibly applied on the public transport
in the city of Belgrade. It considers the modern diesel bus, the trolleybus, the natural gas bus with the spark ignition engine, the electric bus using LiFePO4 battery, and the electric bus with ultra-capacitor. The results are presented according to the real data and the real electro-energetic situation in Serbia, with the
dominantly used lignite coal as primary fuel. This model gives the exact exhaust
emission of electric vehicles at the thermal power plant, enables its comparison
to the internal combustion engine vehicles. The result in analysis shows that the
natural gas bus is the most cost efficient in economical way with overall exploitation price of $87 per 100 km. The trolleybus is more economical then the natural
gas powered bus only at high departures rate, higher than 230 per workday.

AB  - This dissertation presents the results of biofuels application research in direct injection diesel engine, as well as the influence of these fuels on engine combustion process and exhaust emissions. The methyl esters of rape oil, soya oil, and waste cooking palm oil were used as alternative fuels. These biofuels were used as net fuels (100%) as well as mixed with standard diesel fuel in the ratio 50:50 and in several cases 7%, 25%, 50% and 75%. Also, the research included the experiments with pure edible sunflower oil mixed with diesel fuel in the ratio 50:50. Besides engine integral characteristic: power and torque output, intake air and fuel consumption, exhaust gas analysis, exhaust gases recirculation, the traces of incylinder pressure, fuel injection pressure and injector needle lift were recorded using high speed data acquisition system. On the basis of these data the method of combustion process parameters evaluation was developed and applied. Using this procedure for different biofuels and at different operating conditions, the following combustion parameters were determined: maximum cylinder pressure and temperature and its their position relative to TDC, heat release and the rate of heat release, ignition delay, combustion duration and the amount of heat released in certain periods of combustion process. The research was carried out under the naturally aspirated and supercharged engine conditions. The impact of exhaust gas recirculation on combustion process and exhaust emissions was studied in all operating conditions and with all biofuels. A special part of the research related to the possibilities of application of the specially designed combustion chamber with reduced heat transfer from the gases to the chamber walls. The influence of this system on combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions was studied. The results obtained in this research can be used for optimisation of diesel engine working cycle in order to achieve better fuel economy and exhaust emissions, under the conditions of different biofuels application with and without exhaust gas recirculation.

Designed as a tool for testing vehicles fuel consumption and emission these tests are usually conducted on expensive and infrastructuraly demanding road dynamometers. This paper presents a method for conducting tests like NEDC or WLTC on an automated engine test bed equipped with high dynamic dynamometer in a manner which provides very similar testing environment. Particularly from the educational point of view, this approach, combining simple mathematical modelling, automated engine test bed and software testing and measurement environment like AVL Cameo, provides numerous possibilities in demonstrating engine operation in a virtual but, by performance, fully realized vehicle.

AB  - State of the art engine test bed system is a highly complex and demanding testing environment. Built as a tool for providing a versatile test environment for modern IC engines, this system requires automation system capable to establish real-time data and commands exchange between test bed various components. The establishing of engine test bed automation system is particularly challenging in combining software and hardware components from different manufacturers. This paper presents methods and solutions used in establishing such automation system in the ICED Lab at the FME, University of Belgrade by integrating control system of AC asynchronous machine, digital acquisition and measurement system and AVL Cameo software within the NI Labview environment.

AB  - Engine speed signal contains valuable and rich content information about the engine working process. Measurement of the engine speed is usually carried out by sensor wheels mounted on the crankshaft. Measurement errors are mostly influenced by geometric tolerances of the engine speed sensor wheel as well as by its radial run-out. In order to avoid the occurrence of this systemic deviation, in the lab and highest accuracy engine speed measurements are usually conducted by means of incremental encoders, radially and axially fixed to the crankshaft with the anti-twist safeguard toward the crankcase. This paper shows how this type of engine speed measurement, which is considered to be the most accurate, is prone to systematic errors as well. The influence of the kinematic parameters of the encoder - crankcase linkage, on the error occurrence is discussed as well as suggested methods for systematic deviation parameters identification and engine crankshaft angular speed error compensation.
