### EffShift Parameters

- The following EffShift parameters are read from the file
  “Declaration/EffShiftParameters.vtcu” if this file exists.
  (A sample file is provided in the VECTO archive)
- All parameters are optional, if a parameter is not provided the default value
  (see table below) is used

| Parameter name            | Value | Explanations |
|:---------------           |:-----:|:-------------|
| `Rating_current_gear`     | 0.97  | Defines the minimum fuel efficiency advantage in a candidate gear to trigger a gear shift (i.e. 3% of a value of 0.97) - applies only for AMT transmissions|
| `Rating_current_gear_APT` | 0.97  | Defines the minimum fuel efficiency advantage in a candidate gear to trigger a gear shift (i.e. 3% of a value of 0.97) - applies only for APT transmissions |
| `RatioEarly(Up/Down)shiftFC`   | 24 | In gears with a higher total drivetrain ratio (axle plus gearbox) than this parameter, “Efficiency shifts” are disabled, i.e. the shifts are only triggered by the shift lines. Rationale: Gear shift in this gears are primarily triggered by pow er demand.
| `AllowedGearRangeFC`      | 2     | Defines the gear range for candidate gears for “Efficiency Shifts”(+/-) - applies only fot APT transmissions |
| `AllowedGearRangeFCAPT`   | 1     | Defines the gear range for candidate gears for “Efficiency Shifts”(+/-) - applies only fot APT transmissions with ≤ 6 gears Allowed |
| `GearRangeFCAPTSkipGear`  | 2     | Defines the gear range for candidate gears for “Efficiency Shifts”(+/-) - applies only fot APT transmissions with more than 6 gears |
| `AccelerationFactorNP98h` | 0.5   | Defines the reduction of driver target acceleration in the engine speed range betw een nT98h and nP98h |
| `ATLookAheadTime`         | 0.8   | Defines look ahead time for rating of fuel consumption for AT transmissions. |

### New input parameters

- The new input fields (see table below) are optional in this version. When this release candidate
  will be an official version manufacturers MAY certify their new vehicles using the new input
  parameters. As from 1 st July 2019 the new input fields will become mandatory. Further details are
  provided in the timetable on the next page.

- Default values when the new input parameters are not provided:

  **Input parameters vehicle - Table 1 Annex III**

  | Field               | Default value |
  |---------------------|---------------|
  | VehicleCategory     | No default value but input 'rigid truck' will be converted automatically into 'rigid lorry' |
  | ZeroEmissionVehicle | 'No' |
  | NgTankSystem        | 'Compressed' (only applicable to gas vehicles) |
  | SleeperCab          | 'Yes' |
  
  **Input parameters ADAS - Pt. 8 Annex III**

  | Field                     | Default value |
  |---------------------------|---------------|
  | EngineStartStop           | 'No' |
  | EcoRollWithoutEngineStop  | 'No' |
  | EcoRollWithEngineStop     | 'No' |
  | PredictiveCruiseControl   | 'No' |

  Currently **only** the fuel type `NG PI` for the **engine certification** is allowed by 2017/2400. For LNG
  vehicles, therefore, the engine fuel type has to be set to `NG PI` and at the vehicle level
  NgTankSystem has to be set to **liquefied**. For CNG the same engine fuel type is used but
  NgTankSystem has to be set to **compressed**.

- Bugfixes:

### VTP Simulation Mode
- Verification Test Procedure (VTP) Simulation Mode
- Similar to Pwheel mode, different cycle format (see user manual)
- Requires:
  - Vehicle in declaration mode (XML)
  - Measured driving cycle
  - Parameters for engine-fan model
- VECTO calculates the gear based on the wheel speed and engine speed (and
  vehicle parameters) and ignores the gear provided in the driving cycle
- Fuel consumption interpolation is done using the engine speed from the cycle
  and calculated power demand (to avoid wrong engine speeds due to wrong gear
  selection)
- Simulation uses all auxiliaries except engine fan
  - Engine fan is modeled separately, power demand depends on fan speed (see user manual)
- Auxiliary power selected according to segment table, BUT power demand
  depends on vehicle speed
  - v < 50 km/h: Urban
  - 50 <= v < 70 km/h: Rural
  - v >70 km/h: Long haul
- Gear and fuel consumption in the driving cycle are optional for now, may be used
  in future versions

## Notes for using Vecto 3.x with AAUX
- The AdvancedAuxiliaries module requires the number of activations
  for pneumatic consumers (brakes, doors, kneeling) and the
  (estimated) total cycle time. This can be configured in the .APAC-file
  (actuations file). For standard bus/coach cycles (i.e., the cycle file
  contains “bus” and “heavy_urban” or “suburban” or “interurban” or
  “urban”; or the cycle contains “coach” (case insensitive)) the
  actuations file already contains the number of activations and the
  cycle time. For other cycles the filename without extension is used
  to lookup the activations in the .APAC file (case sensitive)
  
- Vecto 3 uses an average auxiliaries load (determined by the AAUX
  module depending on the settings) for the simulation. The AAUX module
  computes the fuel consumption in parallel to VectoCore and accounts for
  smart consumers (e.g., alternator, pneumatics, …).

- Output:
  - The .vmod file contains both, the fuel consumption calculated by VectoCore
    (per simulation interval) and AAUX (accumulated and per simulation interval).
  - Columns in .vmod file:
    - AA_TotalCycleFC_Grams [g]: accumulated fuel consumption as computed by the AAUX model,
      considering smart consumers
    - FC-Map [g/h]: fuel consumption as computed by VectoCore interpolating in the FC-Map,
      using an average base load of auxiliaries
    - FC-AUXc [g/h]: fuel consumption corrected due to engine stop/start
      (currently not applicable)
    - FC-WHTCc [g/h]: WHTC-corrected fuel consumption (not applicable in engineering mode)
    - FC-AAUX [g/h]: fuel consumption per simulation interval, derived from
      AA_TotalCycleFC_Grams
    - FC-Final [g/h]: final fuel consumption value with all (applicable) corrections applied
      (stop/start, WHTC, smart auxiliaries)
- Output .vsum
  - Columns in .vsum file:
    - FC-Map: total fuel consumption as computed by VectoCore interpolating in the FC-Map,
      using an average base load of auxiliaries
    - FC-AUXc: total fuel consumption corrected due to engine stop/start
      (currently not applicable)
    - FC-WHTCc: WHTC-corrected fuel consumption (not applicable in engineering mode)
    - FC-AAUX: fuel consumption per simulation interval, derived from AA_TotalCycleFC_Grams
    - FC-Final: final fuel consumption value with all (applicable) corrections applied
      (stop/start, WHTC, smart auxiliaries)
