Abstract: Kostiuk M.V., Popovych V.V. (head). Electric taxi vehicle composition. Master’s thesis. - Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2022. Extended summary The master’s thesis is devoted to the creation of the most comfortable electric taxi for the transportation of people with wheelchairs. In the work, an analysis of analogues was carried out according to technical characteristics and the layout of the electric car was carried out, the inverter, engine and the calculated number and arrangement of batteries were selected. Traction calculation and computer modeling of movement characteristics were carried out, and electric vehicle range and energy balance were calculated. Object of research: Solis 24 electric car. Subject of research: Construction of a car body and its re-equipment in a taxi with a place for people with a wheelchair. Purpose: To develop the layout of the car body, taking into account the space for a wheelchair. Develop a simulation model in the Matlab Simulink software environment to determine the power reserve of the designed electric vehicle аnd compare the results with analogues. The master’s thesis consists of the following main sections: review and analysis of similar M1 category cars, car interior layout, engine and battery inventory, driving cycles, traction calculation and computer modeling of movement characteristics, regulatory framework for estimating power reserve and energy balance, economic part. In this work, the graphic and calculation part is performed. In the graphic part, six sheets of A1 format were designed: of which this is a comparative characteristic of electric cars; dimensional drawing; simulation model of movement in a typical driving cycle, NEDC cycle test scheme and mileage in the cycle, power balance in the cycle, curves of acceleration time and path, capacity consumption and dependence of power reserve on battery capacity.
