Abstract
The AVL software package “upgrade-E” enables the predictive calculation of the expected speed, elevation and tractive power requirements of an unknown driving route. The development platform mainly accesses freely available data formats such as Open Street Map (OSM) and SRTM altitude profiles. The predicted driving route provides a plethora of optimisation possibilities for classical vehicle and powertrain functions. The prototype version of the software is implemented in AVL’s electric vehicle Coup-e 800 and runs on a conventional 7-inch tablet PC with appropriate data gateways to the vehicle’s CAN bus.
