+### 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. |
+
+
+### Declaration Missions
+
+  - The missions simulated in declaration mode folder “DeclarationMissions” if this folder
+  exists.
+  - A folder with all declaration missions is provided in the VECTO archive
+    - LongHaul is the current candidate cycle #31
+    - Previous LongHaul cycle is provided as LongHaul_old
+    - Both LongHaul candidate cycles #13 and #31 are provided as well

+### 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**.

+### 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)

+## 2016-03-11: VECTO 3.0.2
+
+- Main updates:
+- New simulation modes:
+  - Pwheel (SiCo),
+  - Measured Speed (with/without gear)
+  - v_air/beta cross-wind correction (vcdb)
+- Adaptations of powertrain components architecture
+  - Move wheels inertia from vehicle to wheels
+  - Auxiliaries no longer connected via clutch to the engine but via a separate port
+  - Engine checks overload of gearbox and engine overload
+- Fixed some driving behavior related issues in VectoCore:
+  - When the vehicle comes to a halt during gear shift, instead of aborting the cycle,
+    it tries to drive away again with an appropriate gear.
+- ModData Format changed for better information and clarity
+- Added validation of input values (according to latest VectoInputParameters.xls)
+- Various bugfixes
+
+### Pwheel (SiCo) Mode
+
+- Function as already available in Vecto 2.2 also added in Vecto 3.0.2
+  - Driving cycle specifies power at wheel, engine speed, gear, and
+    auxiliary power
+  - No driver model in the simulation.
+  - The Vecto gear-shift model is overruled.
+  - Function used for creating reference results for SiCo tests
+  - For details see user manual: Simulation Models / Pwheel Input (SiCo)
+
+### Measured Speed Mode
+
+- Functionality already available in Vecto 2.2 added in Vecto 3.0.2
+  - Driving cycle not defined by target speed but by actual speed. No driver
+    model in the simulation.
+  - Gear and engine speed can be specified in the driving cycle. 
+    In this case the Vecto gear-shift model is overruled.
+  - Function used for “proof of concept” purposes
+  - For details see user manual: Calculation Modes / Engineering Mode / Measured Speed
+
+
+### `.vmod` File Update
+
+- In Vecto 3.0.2 the structure of the modal data output has been
+  revised and re-structured. Basicaly for every powertrain component
+  the `.vmod` file contains the power at the input shaft and the
+  individual power losses for every component. For the engine the
+  power, torque and engine speed at the output shaft is given along
+  with the internal power and torque used for computing the fuel
+  consumption.
+- For details see the user manual: Input and Output / Modal Results
+  (`.vmod`)
