Abstract

With the development of intelligent transportation systems, access to diverse transportation information has become possible. Integrating this information into an energy management strategy will make the energy allocation prospective and thus improve the overall performance of the energy management program. For this reason, this paper proposes a hierarchical model predictive control (MPC) energy management strategy that incorporates traffic information, where the upper layer plans the vehicle’s velocity based on the traffic information and the lower layer optimizes the energy distribution of the vehicle based on the planned velocity. In order to improve the accuracy of the planning speed of the upper strategy, a dung beetle optimization-radial basis function (DBO-RBF) prediction model is constructed, artfully optimizing the RBF neural network using the dung beetle optimization algorithm. The results show that the prediction accuracy is improved by 13.96% at a prediction length of 5 s. Further, when the vehicle passes through a traffic light intersection, the traffic light information is also considered in the upper strategy to plan a more economical speed and improve the traffic efficiency of the vehicle and traffic utilization. Finally, a dynamic programming (DP)-based solver is designed in the lower layer of the strategy, which optimizes the energy distribution of the vehicle according to the velocity planned by the upper layer to improve the economy of the vehicle. The results demonstrate achieving a noteworthy 3.97% improvement in fuel economy compared to the conventional rule-based energy management strategy and allowing drivers to proceed through red light intersections without stopping. This proves a substantial performance enhancement in energy management strategies resulting from the integration of transportation information.
