Abstract:In this study, fuel consumption test cycles and commonly used SORT cycles for buses were discussed. An exemplary bus model was extensively modeled in terms of power systems. In ad-dition to main components such as the engine, transmission, torque converter, and axle, the drags of engine-powered components such as alternators, engine cooling fan, and air conditioning compressor were integrated into the powertrain model to ensure that the calculated consumption comes as close as possible to the real-life values.… Show more
