Abstract

Electric Vehicles gain more and more importance in public media as well as in scientific research. At the Department of Energy Conversion Technology a collegiate student project has been established to construct an electric vehicle based on a buggy chassis. Simulation models of the vehicle have been realized to study the system. A test bench for the propulsion system has been built. To use the test bench for hardware-in-the-loop tests of the communication system the ECUs are coupled with the existing test bench. The obtained results will be fed back to the upcoming new vehicle planned for the near future.

Highlights

  • Electric Vehicles gain more and more importance in public media as well as in scientific research

  • Proposed approach is the reusability of the simulation models

  • At the Department of Energy Conversion Technology a electric vehicle with wheel selective drive based on a buggy chassis has been realized within a collegiate project

Summary

Introduction

Electric Vehicles gain more and more importance in public media as well as in scientific research. A lot of effort has been spent to introduce simulation models for virtual vehicle development according to [1]. These tools are suitable for the pre-dimensioning of vehicle components like the power characteristics of electrical machines or storage devices. At the Institute for Energy Conversion Technology a collegiate student project has been established since the summer term of 2009 [3], [4]. Within this students project a prototype electric vehicle has been built based on a conventional buggy chassis. The main focus of the project is on the education of future engineers that can organize themselves and are able to use state-ofthe-art engineering tools
