Energy management in an automotive electric/heat engine hybrid powertrain using fuzzy decision making
S.D. Farrall, R. Peter Jones · 2002
The authors describe how vehicle emissions legislation has caused interest in the heat engine electric hybrid vehicle to be renewed. The form of such a vehicle and the associated problem of the control of its powertrain are described. A controller for managing the powertrain which uses fuzzy logic to implement decision making is developed. Details are given of simulation experiments carried out in which the controller is used with a validated vehicle model. The results of these simulations are given. Areas of further work are suggested.>
