In this article, an approach of driving cycle generation for battery electric vehicle is proposed based on genetic ant colony algorithm. The real-world traffic information is utilized to build up a local driving cycle database, in which definitions of the short trip and kinematic characteristic parameters are discussed to describe the driving cycle. A method of principal component analysis is taken as a preprocessor for reducing the dimension of driving cycle data. And then, genetic ant colony algorithm is used to classify the type of short trips and generate the driving cycle. The experimental results on board indicate that, compared with the Economic Commission for Europe driving cycle, the error of driving range and characteristic parameters tested by genetic ant colony driving cycle are reduced by 18.1% and 18.3%, respectively. Therefore, genetic ant colony driving cycle is a good candidate to test driving range of battery electric vehicle.

This paper proposes an adaptive control strategy of fuel consumption optimization for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The strategy combines a moving-horizon-based nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) algorithm, a backpropagation (BP) neural network algorithm, and an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) method to reduce energy consumption. The moving-horizon-based NAR algorithm is applied to predict the short future driving cycle. The BP neural network algorithm is employed to recognize the driving cycle types, which provides the basis for the adaptive ECMS. Based on the abovementioned approach, the power split of the fuel and electric system is determined in advance, and the optimal control of energy efficiency is achieved. A driving experiment platform is established, taking a synthetic driving cycle composed of several standard driving cycles as the target cycle, and the control strategy is tested by the driver’s real operation. The results indicate that, compared with the basic ECMS, the A-ECMS with moving-horizon-based driving cycle prediction and recognition has better SOC (state of charge) retention and reduces the fuel consumption of the engine by 3.31%, the equivalent fuel consumption of the electric system by 0.9 L/100 km and the total energy consumption by 1 L/100 km. Adaptive ECMS based on driving cycle prediction and recognition is an effective method for the energy management of HEVs.
