Simulation research of driveability of the ECO electric car
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2013, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents simulation research results of electric car motion processes with special functionality and construction facilitating its use by the disabled. The model of the structure: motor car – human being – environment has been used in the research. Special attention has been paid to the issue of the, so called, driveability of the car driven by a driver with a lower limb disability who is performing this activity from the wheelchair and not the driver seat. The driveability of the car has been assessed based on the technical stability analyses for the conditions of the ”moose test” manoeuvre. The research results have been used in the process of virtual pre-prototyping finalized with the construction of a non-commercial pre-prototype of a car created within the framework of ECO Mobility project. Simulation model of a motor car mechanical systems has been constructed in MBS technology. For description of the tyred wheel, TNO Delft Tyre model has been used. In the model of a control system, the description of programmable systems of the rear wheel drive electronic differential has been included. The model of a driver and the conditions for conducting the “moose test” manoeuvre have been presented<br/><br/>
