I am interested in simulating a dynamical model of a car to study aspects of “hypermiling” (minimum-fuel optimal control). In order to do this, I would like to use the longitudinal equations of motion for a conventional fuel-injected car with an automatic transmission. If possible, the model should take accelerator deflection as a control input, and the forward vehicle speed as the output, while also modeling the fuel consumption. Hopefully, it would be based on some combination of empirical data and mathematical principles. Are there any conference/journal papers, automotive engineering books, or other sources that would have such a model (and is available to the public)?
Thanks for reading!
