+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **For Known Vibration Frequencies:**

+ - Provides best RMSE and preserves motion dynamics
+ - Requires identification of vibration frequencies
+
+2. **For Unknown/Variable Frequencies:**
+ - Use **Low-Pass Filtering** as baseline
+ - Consider **Adaptive Filtering** for time-varying scenarios
+ - Trade-off between performance and adaptability
+
+3. **For State Estimation Applications:**
+ - Use **Kalman Filtering** when full state estimates needed
+ - Tune noise covariances based on sensor specifications
+ - Consider computational requirements
+
+4. **Real-Time Implementation:**
+ - All methods capable of >100Hz real-time processing
+ - Notch and Low-Pass filters have lowest computational cost
+ - Consider hardware limitations for embedded systems
+
+### Parameter Tuning Guidelines
+
+**Notch Filter:**
+- Measure vibration frequencies via FFT analysis
+- Set Q-factor between 20-50 (higher = narrower)
+- Use zero-phase filtering (filtfilt) to avoid delay
+
+**Low-Pass Filter:**
+- Set cutoff at 1.5-2× highest motion frequency
+- Use 4th-8th order for steep roll-off
+- Monitor motion distortion near cutoff
+
+**Adaptive Filter:**
+- Start with small adaptation factor (0.05-0.15)
+- Increase window size for smoother output
+- Balance adaptation speed vs. stability
+
+**Kalman Filter:**
+- Tune Q/R ratio to balance smoothing vs. tracking
+- Validate with ground truth if available
+- Consider extended/unscented variants for nonlinear systems
+

-Work with the [Powertrain Blockset™](https://www.mathworks.com/products/powertrain.html) and [Model-Predictive Control Toolbox™](https://www.mathworks.com/products/model-predictive-control.html) products to develop a vehicle model and Model-Predictive Control algorithm using MATLAB® and Simulink®. Test and simulate your model over various drive cycles to quantify any improvements over the baseline controller.
-
-Suggested steps:
-1. Become familiar with the Powertrain Blockset examples listed in Background Material section below.
-2. Download the Powertrain Blockset 2-motor BEV model. You will need MATLAB version R2023a or later and license to the Powertrain Blockset. Below the Steps to generate the model:
- 1. Open MATLAB and go to the Apps tab. Under Automotive, open the Virtual Vehicle Composer (VVC) App
- 2. In the VVC app, select ‘New’. Then select ‘Electric Vehicle 2EM’ for the powertrain architecture
-
- 
-
- 3. Select Simulink for the model template and longitudinal vehicle dynamics as shown. Then press the Configure button.
- 4. In the Data and Calibration tab of the VVC app, the user has the option to parameterize the vehicle or use the default values.
- 5. Press the ‘Virtual Vehicle’ button in the VVC app menu to generate the 2 motor BEV model
-3. Run the model and review the output in the scope contained in the Visualization subsystem. Become familiar with the dynamic outputs of this closed-loop model as it simulates over a drive cycle.
-4. Design a linear or non-linear MPC algorithm using the Model-Predictive Control Toolbox.
-a. For example, the MPC controller could be designed to optimally distribute torque and reduce energy consumption while maximizing driving range
-5. Integrate the MPC algorithm into a model reference that operates at a 10ms fixed-time step (use the existing vehicle controller as a reference).
-6. Evaluate your MPC algorithm in the vehicle model using the WLTP Class 3 and HWFET drive cycles using the [Drive Cycle Source](https://www.mathworks.com/help/autoblks/ref/drivecyclesource.html) block in Simulink (You may also need to install the Dive Cycle Source add-on to download the WLTP3 and HWFET cycles). Show your improvement in terms of energy or MPGe metrics versus the baseline controller. Also show that the implemented constraints of the MPC algorithm were not violated. As a validation step, run your controller on different drive cycles (i.e. FTP75, US06).
-
-Project variations:
-1. Explore other ways to optimize the powertrain components, including the differential ratios, motor torque vs. speed curves, and battery sizing.
-
-Advanced project work:
-1. Investigate if your MPC algorithm will run in real time, using a Hardware-In-Loop simulator such as Speedgoat, dSPACE, or National Instruments. MPC algorithms can be more computationally expensive and must be able to execute in a real time to control a physical vehicle. Try to deploy your MPC to an embedded processor.
-2. Try different powertrain architectures. Here are 2 suggestions:
- 1. Two electric motors are on a single axle (one for each wheel). Investigate ways to perform lateral vehicle control called torque vectoring, where the motors can be controlled to induce a yaw moment of the vehicle while in a turn. Develop an MPC controller for this use case.
- 2. Implement a 2-speed transmission on the rear motor. The gear control variable would come from the MPC controller and this problem becomes a mixed integer problem.
