SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SIMULATING VEHICLE ENERGY USE
First Claim
1. A system for simulating energy use of at least one vehicle, the system comprising at least one computing device configured to:
- receive drive cycle data collected during real-world driving of the at least one vehicle;
receive engine torque information associated with the real-world driving of the at least one vehicle;
estimate vehicle payload mass of the at least one vehicle based at least partly on the respective received engine torque information; and
estimate energy use of the at least one vehicle based at least partly on the respective drive cycle data, the respective engine torque information, and the estimated vehicle payload mass.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program for simulating vehicle energy use is provided. Drive cycle data collected during real-world driving of at least one vehicle is received by at least one computing device, and engine torque information associated with the real-world driving of the at least one vehicle is also received. Vehicle payload mass of the at least one vehicle is estimated based at least partly on the respective received engine torque information, and energy use of the at least one vehicle is estimated based at least partly on the respective drive cycle data, the respective torque information, and the estimated vehicle payload mass.
