# 6.1.1. physical¶

It provides CO2MPAS model to predict light-vehicles’ CO2 emissions.

Docstrings should provide sufficient understanding for any individual function.

Modules:

 vehicle It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the vehicle. wheels It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the wheels. final_drive It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the final drive. gear_box It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the gear box. clutch_tc It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the clutch and torque converter. cycle It provides the model to calculate theoretical times, velocities, and gears. electrics It contains functions that model the electrics of the vehicle. engine It contains functions that model the basic mechanics of the engine. defaults It provides constants for the CO2MPAS formulas.

Functions

 physical Defines the CO2MPAS physical model. predict_vehicle_electrics_and_engine_behavior Predicts alternator and battery currents, state of charge, alternator status, if the engine is on and when the engine starts, the engine speed at hot condition, and the engine coolant temperature.
