Matlab/Simulink-Based Modeling for Industrial Electric Vehicle
Résumé
The land transport sector has passed through multiple phases of evolution in design, development, and manufacturing of vehicles. In particular, the construction site continues to progress towards the autonomous vehicles (also called self-driving), which were one of its big trends and have become a hot topic in the industrial and academic world. By now, with this new technology of autonomous driving, we can ensure safety by reducing the number of road accidents, also the environmental impact and energy consumption is lessened. The modeling and simulation phases had become a mandatory step to design, characterize and simulate vehicle dynamics while reducing the cost of development. As they provide suitable test beds for the design and evaluation, the impetus of this study is to implement a model of a METALLIANCE’s industrial Electric Vehicle based on Matlab/Simulink, that will be close to the reality. The model is implemented based on electrical equations associated with the power supply circuit. The model defines for real time the evaluation of various electric parameters in safe vehicle operation for these vehicles. This work will be completed by the design of a full simulator, which reproduces reliably the dynamic behavior of Métalliance construction vehicles.
