Modeling electric vehicle powertrain and dynamics

Abstract

Electric cars and smart cars are major trends of future transportation, thus determining the direction of the auto industry. The control problems for these generations of cars are more diversed and complexed, leading to increasingly fast and comprehensive testing requirements for electronic controller units (ECUs). This paper discussed the requirements for the modeling and briefly presents few types of modeling the powertrain, and body dynamics of electric cars suitable for the experimental development of the such related automotive ECUs.
