Modeling and Transient Simulation of an All-Electric All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

The paper describes a mechanical model of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) developed using a transient simulation tool, PSCAD/EMTDC. The development of this mechanical model allows for a direct interface to a transient electric vehicle drive train model, providing a reliable means of analysis and testing of the transient effects of high frequency converters directly on the mechanical system of the vehicle.
