It is expected that the next generation of the vehicles must not only be energy efficient and produce less (direct and indirect) pollution,&nbsp;&nbsp;but also improve their attractiveness to the public through for example enhanced performance, safety, comfort and ease of use etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is in collaboration with GGS Engineering in Derby to develop a high performance and ultra efficient control system for the integrated provision of traction and steering with the use of in-wheel electric motors, i.e. motors built into wheels. The use of the wheel motors offers advantages&nbsp;&nbsp;of mechanical simplicity and power loss reduction, but this study also seeks to control the electric motors on the two sides of a vehicle independently for the provision of vehicle steering\/guidance in a new form of steer-by-wire. The technology developed in this project will be suitable for applications&nbsp;&nbsp;in both railway and automotive industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is jointly funded by TSB (Technology Strategy Board, UK) through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership Scheme and the industrial partner GGS Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"258\" src=\"http:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/bogie-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/bogie-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford.jpg 330w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/bogie-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"347\" height=\"241\" src=\"http:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/wheelmotor-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/wheelmotor-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford.jpg 347w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sirc-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/2020\/06\/wheelmotor-transport-railway-research-computing-science-engineering-university-of-salford-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSB KTP Grant, PI \u2013 Professor T X Mei, in collaboration with GGS Engineering The increased awareness for the need for low carbon based transport has helped to accelerate the development of both public transport vehicles and personal cars.
