A study of vehicle fuel consumption simulation using VHDL-AMS multi-domain simulation

Abstract

The vehicle system is a multi-domain system, so that computer simulation technique has become an indispensable tool for vehicle system development. Our research group proposed a simulation modeling method based on the VHDL-AMS language. This paper describes how VHDL-AMS is used to model of vehicle fuel consumption simulation. We examine the influence of the power-network with electrical load and hill climb resistance in the vehicle running resistance.
