Propulsion system control and simulation of electric vehicle in MATLAB software environment

According to vehicle's dynamic characteristics and dynamics principle, the computer simulation model of electric vehicle (EV) is proposed to improve the design method for the propulsion drive system of electric vehicles. Mathematical models for every component in EV can be modeled in the corresponding blocks, and the transfer function of each block for simulation in MATLAB software environment is introduced. The suggested method is verified through design of an electric sedan in MATLAB environment, and may be useful reference in applications of design, control and simulation of electric vehicles.
