Abstract

Energy consumption in vehicle driving is greatly influenced by traffic scenarios, and the intelligent traffic system (ITS) has a key role in solving the real-time optimal control of hybrid vehicles. To this end, a new energy management control strategy based on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication for vehicle speed prediction was proposed to dynamically adjust the engine and motor power output according to the traffic conditions. This study is based on intelligent network connectivity technology to obtain forward traffic state data and use a deep learning algorithm to model vehicle speed prediction using the traffic state data. The energy economy function was modeled using the MATLAB/Sinumlink platform and validated with a plug-in hybrid vehicle model simulation. The results indicate that the proposed strategy improves the vehicle energy economy by 13.02% and reduces CO2 emissions by 16.04% under real vehicle driving conditions, compared with the conventional logic threshold-based control strategy.
