The Construction of a Fuel Consumption Estimation Model for Hybrid Vehicle

Abstract

A fuel economy evaluation method which works for a freely selected speed pattern is necessary because fuel economy is in accordance with the vehicle speed patterns. In a hybrid vehicle, construction of the evaluation method is especially difficult due to changing between the engine drive and motor drive. This paper aims to consider the fuel economy evaluation method which works for a freely selected speed pattern on hybrid vehicles. We analyzed the 187 trip real road driving data that was made by a hybrid vehicle over a year and constructed Trip Segment Model which has been developed for vehicle emission.
