Construction of Online Co-Simulation Environment (Third Report)

- Improving Prediction Accuracy of Vehicle Fuel Economy Using an Engine Thermal Plant Model -

Abstract

As a part of efforts to improve the efficiency of powertrain development, highly accurate simulation technology for predicting vehicle fuel economy has been required. The objective of this study is to develop the highly accurate fuel economy prediction technology for changes in driving circumstances. Co-Simulation environment coupled with an engine thermal plant model was developed. The environment can predict EPA 5-Cycle fuel economy that including a wide range of driving circumstances changes with high accuracy.
