- Additional information
- This paper demonstrates an effective, CPU-efficient approach, for simulating multi-vehicle situations. This is relevant to F1 teams and automotive manufacturers where there is increasing interest in the difference between real on-road fuel economy and that predicted under simplified conditions (eg: in the absence of other vehicles on the road). Race car teams generally do not publish their work to provide citations, but the paper has been downloaded more than 400 times. It has been referenced by Engineers from Toyota Central R&D laboratories and is credited as inspiring the methodology used for multi-vehicle simulations in papers published by Jaguar Land Rover.
