Extracted Text
The following text was automatically extracted from the image on this page using optical character recognition software:
this snapshot, the magnitude and location of the
predicted current flow agrees well with the actual
measured values. Note that the vehicle did not meet the
US06 driving cycle trace using the shift schedule
provided.
Another example is shown in figure 17 that compares
predicted and actual measured engine speed during a
portion of the FTP75 test procedure. The predicted
engine speed is very close to the measured speed
except in several cases where the speed dependent
shifting logic in ADVISOR caused a gear shift that was
not executed by the driver during the test procedure.
Figure 17 also illustrates how ADVISOR accurately
models the Insight's idle stop feature. Near the end of
the time period shown, as the vehicle is slowing down,
the engine shuts off (rpm's go to 0) rather than idle.35

Through vehicle testing under standard conditions and
with detailed component instrumentation NREL has
shown how the Insight performs, and revealed some of
the finer points of the vehicle's control strategy and
component operation. Data from the testing and from
other published sources has allowed NREL to build an
accurate model of the Insight in ADVISOR. Predicted
results and operational characteristics are in good
agreement with the actual vehicle performance and
component operation.
