Electric vehicle (EV) powertrain dynamics and steady state parameters can only be acquired in controlled test conditions, what is not possible to obtain experimentally in real road traffic. This paper presents a test bench designed for modelling purposes of small EVs such as ISRobotCar [2]. The EV powertrain was tested to acquire the motor power driver, motor, gearbox and tire efficiencies. The experimental...
This paper describes the ISRobotCar, an experimental autonomous electric vehicle that integrates Robot Operating System (ROS) and several sensors such as IBEO laserscanner, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), RTK-GPS, vision cameras, and magnet detectors for magnetic guidance. The development of a power steering controller and of a fuzzy path-following controller are particularly addressed. Finally simulations...
One of the most important environmental problems in large cities is the vehicular emission. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are a growing alternative for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Since this kind of vehicle has low autonomy yet, it is important to optimize energy consumption, for instance by planning a suitable infrastructure of battery recharge and/or battery-switch stations. This paper...
