- Developed GUI using MATLAB App Design in order to do the post-run analysis of EV & HEV models. - Added multi-simulation comparison tabs that used contour plots and pie charts for analysis. - Created display screens for HMI in VeeCAN 800 to display the hybrid modes, battery SoC, range, engine/motor RPM, fuel economy, and various other parameters the HEV. - Developed gear shift logic for transmission control unit of the HEV. - Prepared a test plan for the complete integrated vehicle model.

- Created and integrated a startup-shutdown sequence, net torque demand, and various other functionalities to the Supervisory Controller model for the Hybrid electric vehicle in SIMULINK. - Flashed & tested the various functions into an industry-standard Electronic Control Unit GCM 196. - Established CAN communication from a (Hardware in Loop) HiL rig with the ECU to receive and transmit messages from and to the other control units and performed HiL testing.

- Developed a customizable Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Electric Vehicle model in QTRONIC SILVER referencing the SIMULINK Power-train Block-sets. - Performed co-simulation and Processor in Loop (PiL) testing on an industry-standard ECU (ECM196) using RAPTOR and SILVER. - Tested various algorithms for Energy Management strategies based on Model Predictive Control (MPC), Instantaneous Optimization for Hybrid Electric Vehicles.

- Formulated a real-time implementable mathematical optimization model for the minimization of energy consumption following the constraints of the various components. - Developed an algorithm to determine the torque split ratio for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle. - Created a SIMULINK model and implemented the Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) with aid from the SIMULINK (P2 HEV) Reference Application.
