FY 2008 Annual Progress Report for Advanced Vehicle Technology Analysis and Evaluation Activities and Heavy Vehicle Systems Optimization Program
AVTAE provides an overarching vehicle systems perspective in support of the technology R&D activities of DOE’s VT and Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies (HFCIT) Programs. AVTAE uses analytical and empirical tools to model and simulate potential vehicle systems, validate component performance in a systems context, verify and benchmark emerging technology, and validate computer models. Hardware-in-theloop testing allows components to be controlled in an emulated vehicle environment. Laboratory testing then provides measurement of progress toward VT technical goals and eventual validation of DOE-sponsored technologies at the Advanced Powertrain Research Facility for light- and medium-duty vehicles and at the ReFUEL Facility for heavy-duty vehicles. For this sub-program to be successful, extensive collaboration with the technology development activities within the VT and HFCIT Programs is required for both analysis and testing.
