Abstract
Technological evolution provides the use of tools equally with the increase of the analysis potential of the simulative resource. This allows the input of computational programming, which makes possible the evaluation of a proposed solution to define the parameters of the system reaching the requested objectives. The advancement of technology in the means of generating and transforming electrical energy has been promising for a long time, especially with regard to electric propulsion for vehicles of this medium. Among the benefits of using an electric vehicle is the reduction of waste that acts on environmental pollution. Despite the use of different energy sources, such as thermoelectric plants, the emission of pollutants is concentrated only in the generating source. Unnecessary electricity costs have directly impacted higher vehicle costs. However, with the advancement of technology, automated systems were being inserted into people's daily lives, in order to reduce unnecessary costs and thus making it possible to manage, monitor and reduce these expenses. In this premise, the purpose of this work is to analyze the energy expenditure of the prototype vehicle for Energy Efficiency competition used by the UNIVILLE campus São Bento do Sul team, using an Arduino microcontroller, in the automatic acceleration system. In order to increase the vehicle's autonomy, tests were carried out in several speed ranges to verify the average consumption with automatic acceleration compared to manual acceleration. From the obtained results, it was possible to validate the objective of this study, proving the efficiency of the automation of the prototype vehicle, result of the set of electronic components with the programs carried out. One should also consider the efficiency of the processes developed by Univille's energy efficiency team. The tests carried out showed that the automation of the prototype vehicle is 5.52% more effective than manual acceleration. The tests carried out contributed to the improvement of electronic systems, encouraging the improvement of new studies and development of new technologies for the automation of manual systems.
