Battery Electric Vehicles are becoming a promising technology for road transportation. However, the main disadvantage is the limited cruising range they can travel on a single battery charge. This paper presents a novel extended ecological cruise control system to increase the autonomy of an electric vehicle by using energy-efficient driving techniques. Driven velocity, acceleration profile, geometric and traffic characteristics of roads largely affect the energy consumption. An energy-efficient velocity profile should be derived based on anticipated optimal actions for future events by considering the electric vehicle dynamics, its energy consumption relations, traffic and road geometric information. A nonlinear model predictive control method with a fast numerical algorithm is adapted to determine proper velocity profile. In addition, a novel model to describe the energy consumption of a series-production electric vehicle is introduced. The hyperfunctions concept is used to model traffic and road geometry data in a new way. The proposed system is simulated on a test track scenario and obtained results reveal that the extended ecological cruise control can significantly reduce the energy consumption of an electric vehicle. |
