Reduction of pneumatic tyred roller fuel consumption

摘要

This article deals with optimization of operational parameters of an energy regeneration module for a heavy vehicle. Recently, there was developed an energy regeneration module for a pneumatic tyred roller with hydrostatic drive. It was necessary to optimize its operational parameters to achieve good results in experimental tests on the actual vehicle. The optimization process was based on a numerical model of the vehicle using a parallelized modification of the differential evolution algorithm as an optimizer. Suggested parameter values were subsequently verified experimentally on the vehicle by analysis of the fuel consumption.
