Presentation of a general purpose simulation approach for enabling the realization of electromobility concepts for the transportation sector

Abstract

The following paper describes an overall simulation method for the design of eMobility concepts for rail, road and coastal waters. The presented workflow enables the user to execute the realization process under the usage of real world elevation data and driving profiles. This is essential for the choice of a fitting battery and motorization. Additionally the charging infrastructure has to be chosen without changing anything on the existing driving schedule for electric buses. Taking a look at innovative and sustainable drive concepts completes the overview and indicates the direction for the implementation of eMobility in the near future without the need for big investments. With the shown software approach it is possible to answer the consumers cost questions and reduce their range anxiety for electric vehicles.
