Simulation of Electric Vehicle Energy Consumption of Real Driving Behaviour

The target to reach a fully sustainable mobility is forcing and enhancing the technical development of solutions aiming to enable this change. Electric mobility is nowadays pursued by every transport operator involved in Local Public Transportation (LPT). For what concerns private mobility, the actual situation is different. Economic subsidies and incentives alongside traffic policies are the needed usual strategies capable to enhance this revolution. Despite these last aspects, new technologies exploited need to focus carefully on different aspects, especially for what concerns the energy consumption of such new vehicles. The present paper wants to propose an analysis of the impact produced by different driving behaviour on the energy consumption of an Electric Vehicle (EV). An initial EV classification is provided, together with several physical quantities of interest regarding the driving behaviour. A vehicle model capable to consider different inputs is presented, together with the description of input commands considered. The initial dataset is constituted by real driving trajectories and results provided are discussed to assess the impact of the different driving styles on the overall energy consumption.
