Parametric Predictions for Pure Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Demand for pure electric vehicles has been found to be increasing over the years. This has necessitated the development of a model that would serve as a predicting machine for manufacturing different types of pure electric vehicles. Direct Artificial Neural Network approach was used for predictions of nine different parameters commonly found in pure electric cars. Predictions were found to be of high degree of accuracy while using unit and overall model errors as the basis of performance measurement. The mean absolute error, mean square error and root mean square error of the model were 0.109, 0.218 and 0.467, respectively, when the combined electric charge consumption was used for modeling. For the model formation, using the same variable, the losses for the training and testing were 3.9132 × 10−6 and 9.698 × 10−7, respectively. The model was also evaluated using redefined datasets. The developed model can be used by manufacturers and engineers to simulate future designs when certain parameters are given.
