THROTTLE-BY-WIRE (TBW) FOR RETROFIT CONVERSION OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV) USING NI COMPACT RIO & LABVIEW

Abstract

Conventional throttle body in a vehicle is controlled mechanically via cable and this project propose a method for replacing the conventional throttle body with an electronic throttle body (ETB) and fine-tune the system in order to implement electronic throttle-by-wire (TBW) for retrofit conversion of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to enable diligent control of throttle valve by using National Instrument’s compact Reconfigurable Input Output (cRIO) hardware and Laboratory Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) graphical user interface (GUI)
