This study presents the design and implementation of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) educational simulator based on Arduino and MATLAB integration. The system uses coupled induction and DC motors controlled via a PID algorithm to emulate realistic motor speed dynamics. The Arduino microcontroller performs real-time PID control, while MATLAB/Simulink provides simulation, tuning, and visualization. Experimental results demonstrate the platform’s capability to effectively teach motor control concepts with accurate speed regulation and system responsiveness. The proposed simulator offers an affordable and scalable solution for academic settings to enhance hands-on learning in electric vehicle technology.
