BUS PERFORMANCE SIMULATION. EARLY RESULTS FROM HEVSIM

The HEVSIM (Heavy Vehicle Simulation Model) can estimate changes in fuel economy due to changes in bus design, operating environment, or fuel type. The model is expected to enable transit managers to evaluate the potential performance characteristics of buses available for purchase, evaluate the fuel consumption impacts of vehicle weight, components and accessories, and route operating profiles. Details of how it works are provided.
