Mobile absorber of kinetic energy when a vehicle hits a stationary or slow-moving truck, used on roads in work zones and during maintenance work
The subject of the project was a TTMA device (mobile absorber of kinetic energy when a vehicle hits a stationary or slow-moving truck, used on roads in work zones and during maintenance work).
SolidWorks software was used for the design work. The numerical model of the TTMA was prepared in Altair HyperMesh. The calculations were carried out in LS-Dyna.
A prototype of the TTMA mobile absorber, meeting the requirements of European standard CEN/TS 16786:2018 for an impact speed of 100 km/h (confirmed by experimental tests).
An electric motor is only one component of a vehicle’s e-drive system. Efficiency, range, performance and durability depend on the combined operation of the motor, inverter, battery, battery management system (BMS), cooling system, transmission, control software and mechanical integration. Electric powertrain development should therefore address the complete system and the vehicle’s real operating profile from the outset.
