Structure Sharing Technology for i-EFV

As a typical complex electromechanical system (Li et al., IEEE Trans Intell Transp Syst 13(1), (2012); Li et al., Structure of intelligent environmental friendly vehicle, China (2009)), i-EFV integrates mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, electric, sensing, communication, and control subsystems. Although the adoption of traditional functional superposition for its system integration solution occupies the advantage of simple design, such as an intelligent driving system can be directly superimposed on an EV, a continuous upgrade of intelligent driving system leads to more subsystems and complex system structure with inter-coupling and overlay of functions and structures.
