Abstract
In this study, a modeling method is based on representing a road generation system with several rigid bodies, i.e, pad, shaft, torsional damper, oneway-clutch, gear system, and electricity generator. The simulation software is developed to evaluate the performance of a road generation system. It is used to determine parametric dimension for optimal design with the theoretically calculated results from the simulation software. The parametric dimensions are included as capacity, length, and angle of equipment. The transient responses at the conditions of low and high vehicle speed are compared with the calculated results as torque, power, out energy etc. Consequently, before manufacturing system, the analysis of simulation results shows that the proposed concept and system has efficiency and confidence.
