An Advanced Simulation Framework of an Integrated Vehicle-Powertrain Eco-Operation System for Electric Buses

Activities of transit buses traveling along arterial roads and city streets consist of frequent stops and idling events at many predictable occasions, e.g., loading/unloading passengers at bus stops, approaching traffic signals or stop signs, and going through recurrent traffic congestion, etc. Besides designing transit buses with electric powertrain systems that can save a noticeable amount of energy thanks to regenerative braking, this urban...
