HiL simulation of electric vehicles in different usage scenarios

This paper describes the simulation of an electric vehicle drive train via a hardware in the loop (HiL) setup in combination with an interactive driving simulator based on MATLAB/Simulink. This setup provides the possibility to test the suitability of electric vehicles in different usage scenarios using a laboratory environment. Another aspect is that by a comprehensive analysis of the measurement data, system components of the drive train can be tested under realistic conditions and further developed in order to improve the efficiency of such vehicles.
