OPTIMIZATION OF POWER CONSUMPTION BY ELECTRIC TRANSPORT VEHICLES: CONTRIBUTION TO ON-BOARD INSTRUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT

OTTIMALIZZAZIONE DEL CONSUMO ENERGETICO NEI TRASPORTI ELETTRICI: CONTRIBUTO AL MIGLIORAMENTO DELLA STRUMENTAZIONE DI BORDO

The present trend towards a reduction of power consumption and research problems involved to rationalize power consumption by city electric transportation vehicles are considered. An analysis of vehicles under different conditions of movement and a comparison of different vehicles to select those best suited for specific utilization is briefly outlined. During the first phase of research, effort was centered on the design of power meters that would be best suited for installation on board vehicles and be sufficiently precise. The use of a microprocessor to arrive at a solution to this problem is described and results are summed up.
