PMC 2016 - 3rd Biennial International Conference on Powertrain Modelling and Control

The 3rd PMC (Powertrain Modelling and Control) conference will be held at Loughborough University, UK, on 7th-9th September 2016. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia and to provide them with a platform to report on recent advances and developments in the newly emerging areas of powertrain modelling, control and calibration. The conference comprises five scientific tracks:
1: Calibration and Control
2: Tribology and Dynamics
3: Combustion
4: Fuel Cells and Hybrid
5: Testing and Validation
Topics covered in these tracks are including but not limited to:
? Combustion Engine Modelling
? Performance / Drivability
? Driveline and Transmission
? Tribology: Friction and Powerloss
? Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
? Drive Cycles
? Electric Drivetrains
? Hybrid Powertrains
? System Identification
? ECU development
? Mapping and Calibration
? Hardware -in-Loop testing
? Powertrain Optimization
? Emission Legislation
? Powertrain / engine testing
? Fuel Cell
Journal Publication:
Selected papers will be published in the “Proceedings of the IMechE, Part K: Journal of Multi-body Dynamics” (Editor-in-Chief: Professor Homer Rahnejat) and “International Journal of Powertrains”.
