Matrix representation of an EV’s Sensory and Control System

Abstract

This article will be the continuation of previously published papers and journal articles. The previous developments have been finished by the suggestion of possible matrix-representation of the sensory and control block diagram system of the examined, fully electric vehicle1 (EV) [1], [2], [3], [5]. This article will show, how these block diagrams can be represented by some special matrices. The first step in the developments was the creation of the sensory and control map of the system (in this form of expression the “system” is the electrical network of the vehicle). Later, this electrical network, based on functionality, was segmented into the different subsystems, like: EV Control System, Driver Control System,…, see [2]. Hereupon the subsystems could be represented by the graph of the subsystem and, as it is well known, each graph can be represented as a matrix. The problem arose from the fact, that these subsystems are overlapped with each other. The present article will show, how these overlaps can be handled by a special matrix representation.
