Transportation Energy Evolution Modeling (TEEM) Program

The TEEM Program's goal is to facilitate understanding of how to efficiently and effectively transition from the current petroleum-based transportation energy system to one that is more sustainable and energy-diverse.

The program focuses on modeling market dynamics related to emerging light-duty vehicle powertrain technologies and predicting their impacts and acceptance. Much of the TEEM Program’s recent research has concentrated on the potential for electrification of the highway vehicle fleet.

Market Acceptance of Advanced Automotive Technologies (MA3T) Model

MA³T is a market dynamics model that estimates the market demand for advanced vehicle powertrain technologies in response to assumptions regarding technology, infrastructure, consumers, and policies. Developed in Microsoft Excel, MA³T currently models 20 powertrain technologies for passenger cars and light-duty trucks and 1,458 consumer market segments.

Battery Run-down under Electric Vehicle Operation (BREVO) model

BREVO model is a tool designed to estimate electric vehicle battery degradation over time. Unlike traditional models that rely solely on experimental charge-discharge cycles, BREVO integrates drivers' travel patterns with physics-based models of battery degradation and powertrain energy consumption. Additionally, it evaluates the effects of charging behavior, charging rate, driving patterns, and various energy management strategies on battery capacity degradation.

BREVO estimates the long-term impact of real-world usage patterns on EV battery degradation by connecting drivers' travel patterns with physics-based battery and powertrain models.
