Hi there,
I am simulating the hybrid transit bus,
Its max speed is at 60 kph, most speed used on road is below 20 kph (more than 60% of its total operation time)
The bus follows stop-and-go pattern almost all the time.
The bus is to be fuel cell/battery hybrid, therefore it uses an electric motor as a traction motor
I need to specify its transmission and not sure if whether I should go for
1. Manual transmission
2. Automatic transmission
3. CVT
For a transit bus, how do I determine what type of transmission it should be?
Also, some texts suggest that the traction motor is capable of achieving ideal torque curve therefore a SINGLE gear transmission would suit this. How's this?
Should I go for a single gear for simplicity or multigear? What is the advantage and disadvantage of single gear?
Thank you
