Abstract
Today's electric vehicles are complex multi-domain systems catering for many customer and legal objectives that are often exclusive among each other. Finding optimal vehicle design configuration is the key in trade off among these objectives. These challenges require integrated design and optimization using model based systems engineering approach from the start of the development. In this paper, model based analysis and multi-objective optimization is done for an electric pickup truck to improve range, acceleration, drivability, handling and ride comfort performances of the vehicle. Detailed model of the electric pickup truck is created in a Modelica platform using multi-body and multi-domain approach. Functional mock-up unit (FMU) created from the model is used to run DoE, Optimization and Trade space analysis using an optimization tool. Finally, the optimized vehicle design configuration is presented that produces best trade off among the given objectives.
