Abstract
To address range anxiety in electric vehicles (EVs), this paper presents an eco-driving add-on system implemented on a production EV, with comparative field experiments conducted in real-world traffic conditions. The proposed eco-driving system integrates a predictive cruise control (PCC) strategy to effectively utilize connected information, such as road geometry and preceding vehicle behaviors. For real-time implementation, a fast PCC algorithm coupled with the bisection method, warm-start, and improved iterative transversality condition is introduced. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, achieving an energy-saving effect of approximately 2%. Subsequently, field experiments were conducted in scenarios including smooth-flowing highways and congested urban expressways using a production EV. Compared to the baseline, which consists of the existing cruise control strategy of EVs and the experienced human drivers, our proposed scheme achieves energy savings of approximately 2.2% on highways and 2.6% on urban expressways.
期刊介绍:
Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice''s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.
The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC.
Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.
