Design and production of hybrid buses in Italy are assisted by a range of engineering tools that enable simulation and optimization of the hybrid bus performance. A review of these tools is given, involving the study and development of typical driving patterns and behaviour, the mathematical models of the components in the hybrid powertrain and, finally, the application of the computer codes.
Initially simulation is a design tool. Moreover, it is found that simulation is useful for verifying the suitability of hybrid buses for the required service. By means of more or less complex algorithms, customers can be advised to adapt bus lines and to adjust powertrain parameters.
