INCREASED FUEL ECONOMY IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS BY USE OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT. VOLUME III. REAL-TIME (HYBRID COMPUTER) SIMULATION PROGRAM SET

Computer simulation programs are developed to simulate the performance of current motor vehicles over all types of driving cycles. The simulation includes the effect of the dynamic interactions among the powerplant and drivetrain components, and is quite sophisticated so as to accurately predict the performance changes produced by a wide range of vehicle modifications. Volume III presents the additional programming information necessary for running the real time interactive hybrid computer simulations.
