“…The drive components have been chosen based on the power output of the energeti model. The best compromise between power and weight has been found in a flat Brushles DC outrunner motor [22], controlled by its designed inverter (Figure 21) [23]. To reach the requested maximum power of 2.23 kW, 4 flat motors are needed, becaus each motor can provide 600 W. For the first proof of concept, it has been decided to inte grate 2 motors in the trolley to test the vehicle's capabilities, with a consequent halving o the maximum payload.…”

“…The powertrain control has been performed by the ECU board responsible for the reference generation [25] sent via Controller Area Network (CAN) to the inverters, and the block commutation motor control has been performed [23]. Being the motors in a mechanical parallel, it is not possible to perform a speed control for each motor because small differences can cause the instability of the control and could cause the motors to go one against the other.…”

The increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective transportation solutions has led to the exploration of unconventional modes of transportation, such as ziplines. This paper presents the development of an electric prototype for a trolley that can be used for the simultaneous transport of goods and people on ziplines. The prototype is designed with a modular system that allows for easy customization based on the cargo’s weight and size. Two lightweight Maxon motors have been integrated for traction purposes with two Maxon inverters and a low-voltage swappable battery pack. The trolley’s chassis is made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum, making it highly maneuverable and capable of traveling at high speeds. The lightweight permits the operators to detach the trolley from the zipline when needed. The prototype’s traction and braking systems are controlled through a user-friendly interface, making it easy to operate, and with the possibility of a robust and automatic routine for goods transport. In this article, we present the simulation for the design and testing of the prototype, as well as its potential applications in various industries, such as mining, agriculture, and emergency services. Our results show that the prototype is a viable solution for zipline-based transportation, with high efficiency and performance standards. Further research and development are being conducted to optimize the prototype’s performance and expand its applications.

“…New technologies and chemistries such as lithium air [31], lithiumsulphur [32,33], sodium superoxide [34,35] and solid-state [36][37][38] are promising solutions, but are not yet ready to be deployed in the market. Other sources of energy [39][40][41] and the continuous effort to reduce mass [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] and increase energy efficiency [50][51][52] also work towards a more electrified future.…”

This article addresses a common issue in the design of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by introducing a comprehensive methodology for the modeling and simulation of BEVs, referred to as the “PerfECT Design Tool”. The primary objective of this study is to provide engineers and researchers with a robust and streamlined approach for the early stages of electric vehicle (EV) design, offering valuable insights into the performance, energy consumption, current flow, and thermal behavior of these advanced automotive systems. Recognizing the complex nature of contemporary EVs, the study highlights the need for efficient design tools that facilitate decision-making during the conceptual phases of development. The PerfECT Design Tool is presented as a multi-level framework, divided into four logically sequential modules: Performance, Energy, Currents, and Temperature. These modules are underpinned by sound theoretical foundations and are implemented using a combination of MATLAB/Simulink and the vehicle dynamics software VI-CRT. The research culminates in the validation of the model through a series of experimental maneuvers conducted with a Tesla Model 3, establishing its accuracy in representing the mechanical, electrical, and thermal behavior of BEVs. The study’s main findings underscore the viability of the design tool as an asset in the initial phases of BEV design. Beyond its primary application, the tool holds promise for broader utilization, including the development of active control systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and solutions for autonomous driving within the domain of electric vehicles.
