AEVs hold significant potential for enhancing electric mobility, energy efficiency, environmental preservation, and driving capabilities. They offer numerous advantages that could revolutionize transportation and urban lifestyles, notably improving road safety by reducing human error-a leading cause of accidents. This paper presents a comprehensive simulation of an AEV by developing and integrating models for the driving system, battery, motor, transmission, and vehicle body within the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Each component is configured and interconnected to create a pure vehicle model. The simulation is performed under UDDS cycle conditions to evaluate the vehicle's performance in speed maintenance, driving distance, acceleration capabilities, and battery state-of-charge (SoC) dynamics. The results demonstrate that the car exhibits strong output characteristics. Furthermore, the driver model incorporates an energy brake recovery function, which, when set to a 50% recovery efficiency, increases the driving distance by 25% compared to a vehicle without this function.
