Part 1: Mobypost vehicle’s powertrain modeling, simulation and sizing

This paper describes the methodology used to choose the best vehicle powertrain architecture according to driving cycles of La Poste (French Post) missions. The first part explain the measurement strategy of real postman drive cycles as close as possible to those that the MobyPost vehicles will have to follow. In the second step, the power train is modeled and simulated by using two different programs with various energy managements. In the last part, degraded mode conditions are studied.
