A Comprehensive Performance Evaluation Method for Fuel Cell Commercial Vehicles

Abstract

With the development of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), the number of FCEVs is increasing constantly. In China, the use of commercial vehicles is promoted vigorously. It is necessary to propose a method to evaluate the comprehensive performance of fuel cell commercial vehicles. During the application of cloud data, operation data of electric vehicles can be stored on the cloud to evaluate comprehensive performance. In this paper, a method based on operation data is proposed to evaluate the comprehensive performance of fuel cell commercial vehicles. 5 indicators, including fueling economy, refueling time, driving range, environmental adaptability and reliability, are analyzed and evaluated by the original data. To comprehensively score the performance of vehicles, a weighted score mechanism is proposed. The weights of 5 factors are decided by the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, 2 vehicles are evaluated using the proposed scoring system.
