Overview#
Since version 1.11.0 SUMO includes a model for electric vehicles energy consumption from Teaching and Research Area Mechatronics in Mobile Propulsion (MMP), RWTH Aachen. It was implemented by Kevin Badalian. The model uses detailed characterstic maps to describe the a specific vehicle powertrain.
You can find test cases for example vehicle type configurations at {SUMO_HOME} / data/emissions/MMPEVEM
Using the model#
To use the model define a <vType> with emissionClass "MMPEVEM".
To also track the battery state, the vehicle must be equipped with a battery device. The model is fully compatible with charging infrastructure and related outputs as described in Electric Vehicles.
Additional properties of the vehicle and its electrical components must then be defined via parameters of the vehicle or its type.
These values have the following meanings:
| key | Value Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| maximumBatteryCapacity | float | 0 (Wh) | Maximum battery capacity Emax |
