Abstract

Driving simulators have been used to support the development of new vehicle systems for many years.
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) as a means of reducing carbon emissions has lead to the emergence of a
number of new design challenges related to the performance of EV components and the flow of power under a
variety of circumstances. In this paper we describe the integration of an EV drive train test system with a driving
simulator to allow the performance of EV systems to be investigated while under the control of real drivers in
simulated scenarios. Such a system offers several potential benefits. The performance of EV drive trains can be
evaluated subjectively by real world users while the electrical and mechanical properties can be tested under a
variety of conditions which would be difficult to replicate using standard drive cycles.
