In the research regarding plug-in hybrid electric vehicle energy management strategies, the use of global positioning system and intelligent transportation system information to optimize control strategy will be the future trend, and this is relatively scarce in the existing researches. Therefore, an adaptive energy management strategy of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle based on trip characteristic prediction was investigated in this paper, and the main achievement is to suggest a way to determine the reference state of charge for control strategy using global positioning system or intelligent transportation system information. First, given the historical driving data of a driver by global positioning system, the important location points of the commuting routes were discovered. Second, a Markov trajectory prediction model based on the key points was established to predict and identify the driving routes. As such, the trip characteristics, such as information of mileage and driving cycles, were collected. Then, five typical driving cycles were extracted. According to the trip characteristic information, the optimal battery state of charge consumption regulation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle was realized using a dynamic programming algorithm. This algorithm was applied to the research of state of charge trajectory planning algorithm. Moreover, an adaptive equivalent consumption minimization strategy based on state of charge planning trajectory was developed. The comparison of different control strategies proved that the developed strategy uses battery power reasonably and reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle.
There are two shortcomings in the application of traditional A* algorithm in the path planning of autonomous driving. One is that the vehicle environment description method suitable for the A* algorithm is not given; the other is that the vehicle contours and kinematic constraints are not considered. Therefore, according to the characteristics of unstructured environment, this paper presents an environment description method combining global navigation layer and local planning layer, and proposes a local motion planning algorithm based on the improved A* algorithm for autonomous driving vehicles in unstructured environment. In the improved algorithm, profile collision is avoided by setting redundant security space, and the cost of path curvature is considered in heuristic function design. Compared with the original algorithm, it can improve the smoothness of the path, so as to get a path more satisfied with vehicle motion constraints. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm can avoid vehicle contours collision and output a smoother path.
