AFV-soft: advanced data analysis software for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles

The efficient evaluation of performance parameters for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles is a crucial step in the process of research, development and utilization of such vehicles. In this paper we present the design, organization and operation of the analysis system environment and the software package 'AFV-SOFT'. AFV-SOFT has been developed for the evaluation of alternative fuel vehicle performance. AFV-SOFT operates under MS-Windows on personal computers (PCs). The software package introduces several novel algorithms and procedures that allow a user configurable analysis and report environment.
