Range Extension Autonomous Driving of Electric Vehicle Considering Maximum Jerk Constraint

摘要

Nowadays Electric Vehicles (EVs) attract people's attention as means of an environmental problem. However, EVs have disadvantages of their short cruising range. Therefore, our group has proposed Range Extension Autonomous Driving (READ) system which minimizes the consumption energy by optimizing the velocity profile. This paper proposes the method for reduction of maximum jerk from the point of view of READ in straight driving to achieve comfortable one and reduction of consumption energy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments. In addition, the relationship between maximum jerk constraint and eco driving is revealed.
