General Purpose Vehicle Powertrain Modeling and Simulation Software - VPSET (Preprint)

摘要

VPSET (Vehicle Powertrain Systems Evaluation Tool) is vehicle modeling and simulation software to analyze performance and fuel economy of conventional and hybrid powertrains. VPSET has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to guide the user during building a vehicle model. This paper discusses VPSET, its organization, structure, vehicle templates and presents validation results for select vehicles.
