Optimization of the Driving Mode Transformation of Hybrid Electric Bus based on Genetic Algorithm by Zhao Lijun, Li Shoucheng, Wei Guangpu, Zhang Hongsheng

“…The hybrid electrical city bus has two power sources to drive vehicle,so the control of vehicle driving mode transformation is become the core of the vehicle control strategy.It not only influences the vehicle fuel economy and emissions,but also influences the driving comfort of the vehicle.An HEV simulation model is built for performance analysis by interlinking of advanced software AVL CRUISE and Matlab/Simulink.By adjusting threshold of the driving mode transformation,the mode can be transformed smoothly.For achieving minimum equivalent fuel consumption,the genetic algorithm（GA）optimization method is applied to get the optima of control parameters which affect the vehicle driving mode transformation in different city bus cycles including Europe and China.The vehicle fuel economy is further improved.…”
