This paper presents a new approach to generating reference SoC trajectories for predictive
energy management control of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Firstly, inspired by an …

Previously, an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) was developed that
provides near-optimal performance of hybrid vehicles based on an adaptation of …

Existing optimal control systems for vehicles that consider the effect of road slopes use a
cost function with fixed weights related to speed deviation, regardless of driving states on …

This thesis discusses different ways to represent road transport operations mathematically.
The intention is to make more realistic predictions of longitudinal performance measures for …

Human driving behavior significantly affects vehicle fuel economy and emissions on hilly
roads. This paper presents an ecological (eco) driving scheme (EDS) on hilly roads using …

The environmental impact of the fossil fuels has increased tremendously in the last decade.
This impact is one of the most contributing factors of global warming. This research aims to …

It is convenient to use the generator of a range extender also for starting the engine. The
torque needed by the engine at the early stage of engine cranking has been modeled. The …

Chassis dynamometer testing based on representative driving cycles is commonly
performed in the evaluation of the fuel economy of heavy-duty vehicles. However, the …

The slope angle is one of the most influential factors which limit the control performance and
the energy efficiency of not only internal-combustion engine vehicles but also electrified …

As demand for mobility continues to rise accompanied by environmental and energy
problems, electric vehicles (EVs) have been heralded as imminent long-term solutions to …
