Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 24th Chinese Conference on System Simulation Technology and Application (CCSSTA 2023) will be held in Hefei, China, from 10 October to 12 October 2023. CCSSTA 2023 aims to provide original communication opportunities for experts, scientists, students, technological engineers, and other young talents in the field of simulation in universities, research institutes, and enterprises. The committee of the conference aims to focus on communicating the latest research results and progress in the field of simulation, as well as on sharing practical experience in the field of simulation. With the support of the Chinese Association of Automation (CAA)—System Simulation Committee and China Simulation Federation (CAF)’s Application of Simulation Technology Committee, this conference has been hosted for more than 20 years.

Vehicle intelligence involves information perception, processing, decision-making control, intelligent learning, wireless communication, intelligent operation and scheduling, advanced energy integration, etc. Research into intelligent e-mobility requires the support of entire fields of artificial intelligence. Scholars and experts in various fields are required to communicate and jointly promote the process of intelligence in related fields. Intelligentization and electrification are important issues to ensure that vehicles operate entirely autonomously and are environmentally friendly. The current Special Issue is entitled "Intelligent Modelling & Simulation Technology of E-Mobility". mainly includes the selected papers from the participants of CCSSTA2023. The topics will include, but are not limited to:

  • Sensor technologies for driverless e-mobility;
  • Intelligent vehicle-related image, radar, and LiDAR signal processing;
  • Vehicle navigation and localization;
  • State estimation, fault diagnosis, and health prognostics for energy storage systems in e-mobility;
  • Advanced control technique for e-mobility;
  • Energy integration and cyber-physical system for e-mobility;
  • Advanced artificial intelligence techniques for solving problems in e-mobility;
  • Human Factors and human-machine interaction.

The authors of the best papers present at CCSSTA2023 will be invited to further extend their CCSSTA2023 paper, including their most recent research findings. After a second thorough round of peer review, these papers will be published in a Special Issue of the World Electric Vehicle Journal (WEVJ).

In addition, we welcome submissions from others that are not associated with this conference, but with themes focusing on the above topics. We warmly invite emerging and pioneer investigators to contribute research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on intelligent e-mobility.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the editorial office at [email protected].

The estimation of the state of charge (SOC) in lithium-ion batteries is a crucial aspect of battery management systems, serving as a key indicator of the remaining available capacity. However, the inherent process and measurement noises created during battery operation pose significant challenges to the accuracy of SOC estimation. These noises can lead to inaccuracies and uncertainties in assessing the battery’s condition, potentially affecting its overall performance and lifespan. To address this problem, we propose a second-order central difference particle filter (SCDPF) method. This method leverages the latest observation data to enhance the accuracy and noise adaptability of SOC estimation. By employing an improved importance density function, we generate optimized particles that better represent the battery’s dynamic behavior. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm, we conducted comprehensive comparisons at both 25 °C and 0 °C under the new European driving cycle condition. The results demonstrate that the SCDPF algorithm exhibits a high accuracy and rapid convergence speed, with a maximum error which never exceeds 1.30%. Additionally, we compared the SOC estimations with both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise to assess the robustness of our proposed algorithm. Overall, this study presents a novel approach to enhancing SOC estimation in lithium-ion batteries, addressing the challenges posed by the process itself and measurement noises. Full article

Compared to the use of positive temperature coefficient (PTC) materials that consume electrical energy for low-temperature heating, heat pump air conditioners can provide more energy-efficient heating performance by absorbing and utilizing heat from the outdoor air to heat the cab in order to improve the range of electric vehicles. In addition, in order to make the battery work under safe working conditions, this paper proposes battery thermal management coupled with vapor injection heat pump air conditioning. The system is modeled and analyzed through simulation, and the impact of the compressor speed and ambient temperature changes in the battery cooling performance of the system. The results show that under different compressor RPM (Revolution Per Minute) with an ambient temperature of 5 °C, the average temperature of the battery pack remains below 30 °C, and the majority of individual cell temperatures are maintained within the range of 20 to 35 °C. At a constant compressor RPM of 4000/min under varying ambient temperatures, the average temperature of the battery pack remains below 30 °C, with the majority of individual cell temperatures staying within the range of 20 to 35 °C. And the battery cooling performance still performs well. In the low temperature of −10 °C and −20 °C, the system can still maintain a relatively stable heating capacity compared with the 2009.1W, provided by the environment temperature of 5 °C at the same RPM.

In recent years, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems have shown significant performance, accuracy, and efficiency gains, especially when Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) are implemented. NeRF-based SLAM in mapping aims to implicitly understand irregular environmental information using large-scale parameters of deep learning networks in a data-driven manner so that specific environmental information can be predicted from a given perspective. NeRF-based SLAM in tracking jointly optimizes camera pose and implicit scene network parameters through inverse rendering or combines VO and NeRF mapping to achieve real-time positioning and mapping. This paper firstly analyzes the current situation of NeRF and SLAM systems and then introduces the state-of-the-art in NeRF-based SLAM. In addition, datasets and system evaluation methods used by NeRF-based SLAM are introduced. In the end, current issues and future work are analyzed. Based on an investigation of 30 related research articles, this paper provides in-depth insight into the innovation of SLAM and NeRF methods and provides a useful reference for future research.
