Hybrid Truck Driving Torque Controller Considering Human

-Vehicle System Dynamics -Experimental Evaluation by Using Driving Simulator-

Abstract

The key point of the research is to improve the eco-driving performance in a hybrid truck among various drivers. In the previous paper, a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) controller consisting of an automatic gear controller and a hybrid torque distribution controller with a driving torque feedback compensator has been proposed and verified by simulations. In this paper, the proposed hybrid control system has been verified by a driving simulator with several real drivers. The result indicates that the driving performance and fuel economy of the HEV among various drivers were improved by using proposed hybrid control system.
