Abstract/Summary

This research focuses on the development of an energy management system for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. With the use of the ADSP Blackfin 537 ez-kit lite development board the group is able to incorporate different types of sensors using the open source uClinux koop. Sensors/peripherals such as the ADXL345 accelerometer, ADC-based battery monitor, hall-transistor-based speed sensing circuit and Zigbee transceiver were incorporated in order to gather infallible data that provided conditions wherein the vehicle may conserve energy. The system was tested on a simple prototype that made use of brushless DC hub motors which served as the main driving motor of the vehicle.
