Electric drivetrain power dimensioning for urban track system

Abstract

This study focuses on the power dimensioning of the electric drive system for a novel urban transport platform. The research develops a comprehensive plan from scratch, considering key performance parameters such as vehicle mass, maximum speed, acceleration, and hill-climbing capability. Various power classes are analyzed to assess their impact on system performance and efficiency. Additionally, different implementation strategies are examined, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. The outcome of this work is an Excel-based model that integrates these parameters, providing a practical tool for optimizing power dimensioning in urban electric transport applications.
