Braking Performance Analysis of Electric Vehicles Under Varying Road Conditions Using CarSim

This study presents a simulation-based evaluation of the braking performance of the Kia EV6 electric vehicle (EV) using CarSim software. The vehicle model incorporates advanced control systems, including 4WS, ABS, and ESC, to accurately represent real-world driving dynamics. Numerous simulations were conducted across multiple operating conditions, with speeds ranging from 20 to 80 km/h and a coefficient of road adhesion between 0.2 and 0.8. The results demonstrate that the integrated systems significantly improve braking stability and reduce stopping distance. Furthermore, regenerative braking contributes to enhanced energy recovery efficiency, supporting energy-saving objectives, and promoting sustainable EV operation.
