Autonomous driving is no longer just an idea of technology vision, instead a real technical
trend all over the world. The continuing development to a further level of autonomy requires …

This paper describes the composition and performance of a test bench developed for
research and monitoring of the propulsion drives of electric vehicles. Testing possibilities …

The basic problem this paper addresses is the recovery of the kinetic energy lost during
braking and downhill driving in a battery electrical vehicle. The aim is to compare different …

This paper deals with an upgrade of an existing test bench for medium size (about 100 kW)
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). The redevelopment was needed to adapt the system to …

In the last years, because of pollution consequences within large urban areas, a growing
interest appears in electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles (HEV) use. It demands for an efficient …

The development of new electric traction machines requires a complex process of
experimentation due to the many factors that affect motor performance. Dedicated test …

The authors present a test platform for the low-power DC electric motor of a traction vehicle
or a high-power motor scaled in the traction and braking modes. The load emulator of the …

The development of hybrid vehicular power systems has been conducted for decades to
improve transportation quality mainly in terms of environment pollution and fuel economy …

The paper concerns the analysis of the propulsion drives for the battery-fed electric vehicles.
Proposed power and torque estimations help to compare different models of the drives in …

This paper presents a versatile laboratory test bench built up for carrying out researches and
experimental tests about hybrid propulsion trains, without the availability of a real vehicle …
