Abstract
The analysis and decision making on design, behavior and use of a prototype electric vehicle is the main focus of this paper. For this purpose, a prototype electric vehicle was modelled. The dimensional parameters needed to create the model were obtained by measurements, calculations and approximations. Subsequently, a route to be travelled by the vehicle was determined and a simulation of the vehicle on that route followed. Different modifications in the model were performed to compare their results with the original model through simulation in software Adams/Car. In this paper, we show the design criteria for electric vehicles to optimize engine power, weight, battery and vehicle performance according to the characteristics of typical urban routes.
