Abstract (EN): In the contemporary world, simulation has been gaining a huge importance due to the cost reduction it promotes on many different areas. This paper proposes a validation methodology for the simulation model of an electric bus. This methodology consists in applying the sensitivity analysis method to assess the robustness of the model, compared to real data collected for different scenarios. Data were collected from the operation of the real bus and used in the validation process, which could demonstrate that the model's outcomes are valid within a range of changes in the parameters analyzed, namely number of passengers and accessories energy consumption.
