Design and production of hybrid buses in Italy are assisted by a range of engineering tools that enable simulation and optimization of the hybrid bus performance. A review of these tools is given, involving the study and development of typical driving patterns and behaviour, the mathematical models of the components in the hybrid powertrain and, finally, the application of the computer codes. Initially simulation is a design tool. Moreover, it is found that simulation is useful for verifying the suitability of hybrid buses for the required service. By means of more or less complex algorithms, customers can be advised to adapt bus lines and to adjust powertrain parameters.

This paper presents a systematic model for the operation simulation and optimization of a novel multi-mode hybrid powertrain. The hybrid configuration proposed in the paper features a planetary gear train for an electric CVT mode in addition to lay-shaft gears for multiple speed ratios and realizes six operation modes in a simple structure. Detailed component level models were established for the multi-mode hybrid transmission and integrated to the overall vehicle model according to the system configuration using the Simulink/Advisor platform. The vehicle control strategy was then established with the objective to optimize the overall vehicle operation and each hybrid operation mode in terms of fuel economy and emission levels. The performance of the proposed hybrid vehicle system was studied using the developed model under various operation conditions and benchmarked with a current market model with leading performance parameters. The proposed hybrid configuration shows substantial improvements over the benchmark and is validated as a viable hybrid design based on the model simulation.

Metal ions present in waste samples, industrial effluents, acid mines and other aqueous media constitute a serious challenge in different human activities. Solvent extraction a technique for preconcentration, separation and identification of trace amount of metal ions coupled with multivariate chemometric technique was used for the determination of Fe(II) and Cr(III) from solutions in the presence of bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (SALEN). The influence of main extraction variables affecting the extraction efficiency was simultaneously studied and regression model equations illustrating the relationship between variables predicted. The extraction parameters (time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration) were optimized using experimental designs with the contributions of the various parameters to extraction of the metal ions bound to the complexone evaluated using SPSS19.0 software. The statistically determined simulated models for the parameters were R2 = 0.946, 0.727, 0.793, 0.53, 0.53, 1.000 and F- values of 70.400, 13. 285, 15.348, 4.646 and 2.569×105 respectively for time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration for Cr (III). For Fe (II), R2 = 0.243, 0.371, 0.519, 0.446, 1.000 and F-values of 0.964, 2.953, 4.310, 3.216 and 2.516×105 for time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration respectively. The level of significance of the models as predicted was both lower than 5% making it feasible, efficient, reproducible and accurate. This means that metal ions at the conditions stated could be removed from waste samples, industrial effluents, acid mines and other aqueous media with extension in industrial scale application.

The need for integrated analysis poses a request for integration of computer models, paying extra attention to interfaces, data management and user interaction. Sector wide standardization using data dictionaries and data exchange formats can be a great help in streamlining data exchange. However, this type of standardization can have some drawbacks for a generic framework for model integration. Another concept, called Model Data Dictionary (MDD), has been developed as an alternative for proper data management. The concept is a variant on the federated database concept, a concept where local databases maintain their autonomy, while an interconnection database provides a link for sharing data. The MDD is based on a highly generic data model for geographic referenced objects, which if needed facilitates mapping of the sector wide data dictionary. External interfaces provide, in combination with a data format mapping component, a link to SQL-based data sources and model specific databases. A generic Object Data Editor (ODE), linked to the MDD, has been proposed for provision of a common data editing facility for mathematical models. A test version of the combined MDD/ODE-concept has shown the applicability for integration of all kinds of geographic object oriented mathematical models (both simulation and optimization).
