A METHOD FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF VEHICLE PARAMETERS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF VEHICLE TRAJECTORY

Abstract

This paper presents a method for optimization of vehicle kinematic
parameters based on analysis of the vehicle GPS-track, yields data on the
tangential and normal acceleration, on the road profile slope angle, and on the
vehicle instantaneous power over its entire route. The method comprises an
algorithm to improve the accuracy of the results related to poor position
estimation and low sampling rate of the GPS-track readings. This data can be
used to evaluate the requirements for the traction drive system of the vehicle
and optimize its parameters.
