Filtering driving cycles for assessment of electrified vehicles

Other conference contribution, 2013

We present a method for pre-filtering driving cycles that are to be used for assessment of electrified vehicles. The method ensures that the vehicle may exactly follow the filtered velocity demanded by the driving cycle. Employing convex optimization, the method also allows optimal velocity shaping that minimizes the amount of wasted energy. We illustrate the method by an example of performance assessment of a hybrid electric bus in a series powertrain topology.
