Abstract:
Hybrid and electric vehicles have been gaining significant traction in the vehicle market for the past few years, and this necessitates that further attention should be given to their unique characteristics. This paper illustrates a combined route guidance and power management approach, where the required computation is distributed across an on-board/off-board system architecture. A model of the vehicle and the powertrain is utilized to calculate arc costs of a road network for optimal route guidance purposes, and the calculated power reference is later on used for dynamic programming based power management. This approach has the potential to improve vehicle efficiency significantly, and an application scenario based on recorded real world trip information is used to demonstrate system operation.
