Electric Bus Modelling with VeSyMA, TiL and Human Comfort
Summary
This gave the base to studies that involved propulsion and transmission sizing for particular markets and duty cycles and more importantly including the impact of often neglected attributes such as cabin thermal management and human comfort of passengers. The bus’ mechanical subsystems were based on models from the VeSyMA suite, including suspension, wheels, driveline, brakes, and body. The cabin models within the TiL suite and Human Comfort libraries allow the users to build up partitions and glazing where the overall thermal performance is derived from the material properties and geometries specified. The inclusion of the thermal model of the cabin allowed events like opening and closing the bus doors to be analysed to see their effect on the bus’s battery charge.
