Question

Determine the dynamic load of you vehicle:

• Calculate the inertia of your vehicle. What are the assumptions that

you made to find the inertia?

What is the acceleration required for your drive? Justify it

Calculate the required dynamic torque and power for the selected

acceleration. Calculate the total torque and power required. Justify the

operating conditions of your design (is the machine properly sized?)

Select a DC machine for your drive from a catalogue:

Justify the selection of your machine

Specify your machine technical characteristics

Do you need a gearbox? Does it impact your design? Redo

the calculations if required

Sanity check: how do your electric motor (power, torque) compare to

a commercial vehicle? Justify the differences/similarities
