Efficient EV Range Testing with StellarAi
Background:
DriveTech assisted one of its OEM Clients in conducting Electric Vehicle (EV) range calculations in accordance with the NEDC STP Drive Cycle. This involved driving the vehicle on a chassis Dyno, following the NEDC STP sequence, and recording data via the vehicle’s CAN Network.
Before StellarAi:
The data logging process resulted in over 100 files, each exceeding 100 MB in size. Test Engineers faced a significant time commitment, requiring approximately 15 to 20 days to manually analyze each file and subsequently integrate the findings to determine the EV range accurately.
After StellarAi:
DriveTech revolutionized the process by embedding the NEDC standard document directly into StellarAi as an 'Analytical Template'. This innovative approach streamlined the process significantly: Engineers simply executed the template on the test data files, and StellarAi swiftly computed the EV range and other vital statistics in less than 5 minutes.
Conclusion:
The implementation of StellarAi empowered the Customer to expedite EV range calculations with unprecedented ease. What once demanded a labor-intensive manual analysis process was now accomplished within a couple of clicks. This not only saved valuable time but also enhanced overall efficiency, enabling Test Engineers to focus on more strategic initiatives.
