Abstract


This manuscript discusses the Active Idle Stop (AIS) system for a passenger vehicle system which is used to improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle when traveling uphill. The AIS function is developed mainly to improve the drawback in the existing vehicle system when driving uphill. Vehicles face unwanted deceleration and rollback when they are started on an incline. In this study, a control strategy using a Proportional-IntegralDerivative controller is used to improve the deceleration and rollback conditions during an idle stop on an uphill road gradient. A nonlinear vehicle longitudinal model has been used as the testing platform for the AIS function. Meanwhile, an optimization tool known as the Genetic Algorithm is used to improve the controller parameters according to the desired response of the vehicle. Based on the simulation results, it is possible to improve the vehicle’s performance using the AIS system to improve the rollback effect where the deceleration effect on the vehicle is reduced significantly.
