Analysis of modelling and simulation methodologies for vehicular propulsion systems
by Theo Hofman; Dennis Van Leeuwen; Maarten Steinbuch
International Journal of Powertrains (IJPT), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2011

Abstract: In this paper, three different modelling and simulation methods (forward dynamic, quasi-static backwards, and inverse dynamic) will be compared and the simulation results using these methods will be analysed. From a Forward Dynamic (FDM) model, a Forward Quasi-static (FQM) and a Backward Quasi-static Model (BQM) for the engine will be derived. The difference in simulation results for the vehicle used on representative driving cycles will be discussed. The forward dynamic model contains a scalable engine model based on physical laws. The accuracy of this model will be investigated by comparing simulation results with measured quasi-static efficiency data of actual engines.
