Abstract
This paper deals with the development of a software to simulate and study the vehicle-road interaction. This allows to quantify the forces induced and energy released from vehicles to the road pavement, in different vehicle motion scenarios, and the energy absorbed by the road surface, speed reducer, or a specific energy harvester surface. It enables the user to quantify the energetic efficiency of the process. A practical study is presented in order to show the effectiveness of the software, as well as its potential applications.
