Integrating traffic simulation and propulsion modeling to estimate EV range for drivers

Green Car Congress

A paper on their work, initially presented at the SIMULTECH 2011 conference in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, is newly published in the book Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications. Development of these features requires practical meta-models that can accurately predict energy consumption on public roads.

ABB launches Terra 53 DC fast charger in NA; SAE Combo and CHAdeMO

Green Car Congress

ABB has introduced the Terra 53 for North America, showcasing it at the Plug-in 2013 conference in San Diego. This 50 kW DC fast charging station meets both SAE Combo and CHAdeMO standards for battery electric vehicles. ABB was the first manufacturer in the world to meet both standards, launching the harmonized product in Europe last spring.

MIT team develops new lane-change algorithm for autonomous cars

Green Car Congress

Most existing lane-change algorithms for autonomous cars have one of two drawbacks: Either they rely on detailed statistical models of the driving environment, which are difficult to assemble and too complex to analyze on the fly; or they’re so simple that they can lead to impractically conservative decisions, such as never changing lanes at all.

Gamma Technologies and Sendyne introducing comprehensive hybrid and EV simulation with integrated battery model

Green Car Congress

To aid in battery pack system design, each cell in the xEV’s battery pack is modeled individually to reflect statistical variations among cells. The new technology will be presented at the IEEE Transportation and Electrification Conference iTEC2014 on 15-18 June 2014. Thermal interactions among adjacent cells are also modeled.
