Fuel Efficiency by Coasting in the Vehicle

Figure 5

(a) Total amount of the external forces acting on the vehicle during coasting—the result of the simulation compared with data obtained from the test on a real vehicle, (b) power presents the reduction of the stored energy over the time as the vehicle coasts down, and (c) comparison of the vehicle’s velocities obtained from the simulation model and from the test vehicle.
