Abstract :
The determination of the motor and battery specification is one of the major challenges in the electric vehicle designs, specially considering the different kinds of requirements and specifications in different designs. This paper discusses about a method of simulating a vehicle in given terrains and driver models for extracting the torque, power and battery usage; and hence get the most optimized set of parameters for the given design requirement. The simulation takes the driver as a fuzzy model and the overall vehicle as a non-linear model for calculating the motor and battery requirements according to the terrain, driver commands and traffic condition.
