Optimization of electric vehicle preliminary design and software development

Multidisciplinary design optimization was used to the optimization of electric vehicle preliminary design. Based on analytical target cascading, the frame of design optimization was found. Software named EV-PAMO was developed which can be used to electric vehicle performance evaluation and system optimization. With the software, an electric vehicle preliminary design optimization was performed. The results show that with the limits of constraints, the vehicle performance and subsystem level design can be optimized currently and effectively.
