Calculation of demand of electric power of small electric vehicle using Matlab GUI

This article focuses on the creation of graphical interface which allows to define any points of vehicle paths. The data obtained are then applied to create one's own driving cycle. This cycle compared to standard driving cycles includes additional parameters obtained to increase the accuracy of calculations. Information is used to create a data file on the basis of which the terrain profile of particular route of a driving cycle shall be determined. This is then followed by the actual data regarding traffic on our chosen route. A driving cycle defined this way will help to increase the accuracy of calculation of the energy performance of an electric car.
