Ride comfort performance evaluations on electric vehicle conversion via simulations

The paper presents a simulation study on the ride comfort performance of a passenger vehicle which is expected to be converted into an electric vehicle. The studies involved evaluations of vehicle's ride comfort, performance before and after the conversion being made using a validated simulatio...
