Standard driving cycles have been the method of choice for testing vehicle performance decades, both in research and at regulatory level. These methodologies offer significant advantage test reproducibility, allowing consistent comparisons between vehicles. However, their inability to reflect real-world conditions has become increasingly evident. This issue was first exacerbated by advent hybrid plug-in vehicles, which introduced new complexities powertrain operation. Legislators attempted...
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The advancements in vehicle connectivity and the increased level of driving automation can be leveraged for development Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that improve driver safety comfort while optimizing energy consumption vehicle. In phase energy-efficient ADAS, modeling simulation are used to assess potential benefits these technologies on consumption. However, there is a lack standardized or test...
A novel electric drive modeling approach is introduced to bridge the gap between computationally efficient energetic methods and highly detailed equivalent-circuit models. Unlike existing models, which lack granularity capture motor currents voltages, or are expensive, proposed methodology achieves a balance of accuracy efficiency. This accomplished by combining an description with phenomenological inverter model, supported stator current reference lookup tables torque saturation process....
