A python-3.6+ package to generate the gear-shifts of Light-duty vehicles

The aim of the JR-Shift is obtain the Required Engine Speeds, the Available Powers, the Required Vehicle Speeds and the Gears for the whole WLTC based on the vehicle characteristics. The model should allow accurate calculation of final trace and the operating conditions of the engine.

The calculator accepts as input an excel file that contains the vehicle's technical data, along with parameters for modifying the execution WLTC cycle, and it then spits-out the gear-shifts of the vehicle and the others parameters used during the obtaining of these. It does not calculate any CO2 emissions.

Python-3.6+ is required and Python-3.7 recommended. It requires numpy/scipy and pandas libraries with native backends.

Tip

On Windows, it is preferable to use the Anaconda distribution. To avoid possible incompatibilities with other projects

Download the sources,

  • either with git, by giving this command to the terminal:

    git clone https://github.com/JRCSTU/gearshift_calculation_tool --depth=1
    

From within the project directory, run one of these commands to install it:

  • for standard python, installing with pip is enough (but might):

    pip install -e .[path_to_gearshift_calculation_tool_folder]
    

The files and folders of the project are listed below:

The command-line usage below requires the Python environment to be installed, and provides for executing an experiment directly from the OS's shell (i.e. cmd in windows or bash in POSIX), and in a single command. To have precise control over the inputs and outputs

$ gearshift --help                                                  ## to get generic help for cmd-line syntax
$ gearshift demo                                                    ## to get demo input file
$ gearshift run "path_input_file" -O "path_to_save_output_file"     ## to run gearshift tool

In this example we will use gearshift model in order to predict the gears.

Import dispatcher(dsp) from gearshift tool that contains functions and simulation model to process vehicle data and Import also schedula for selecting and executing functions. for more information on how to use schedula

from gearshift.core import dsp
import schedula as sh
  • Load vehicle data for a specific vehicle from excel template

    vehData = 'gs_input_demo.xlsx'
  • Define the input dictionary for the dispacher.

    input = dict(input_file_name=vehData)
  • Dispatcher will select and execute the proper functions for the given inputs and the requested outputs

    core = dsp(input, outputs=['sol'], shrink=True)
  • Plot workflow of the core model from the dispatcher

    core.plot()

    This will automatically open an internet browser and show the work flow of the core model as below. You can click all the rectangular boxes to see in detail sub models like load, model, write and plot.

    The load module

    alternate text
  • Load outputs of dispatcher Select the chosen dictionary key (sol) from the given dictionary.

    solution = sh.selector(['sol'], sh.selector(['sol'], core))
  • Select each output case

    # Select first case
    solution['sol'][0]
    
    # Select second case case
    solution['sol'][1]
    
    # Select gears output for different cases
    gears = {}
    for sol in solution['sol']:
        gears[f'gears_{sol["Case"]}'] = sol['GearsOutput']
