Abstract

Acceleration control using fuzzy logic is investigated in this paper for a plug-in series hybrid electric vehicle in order to improve the vehicle response to driver's demand. The transient process of acceleration is mainly considered in this research. Fuzzy logic is used for motor transient torque control according to driver's input and vehicle velocity, outputting a regulatory factor to increase motor torque transiently when driver's acceleration pedal is pushed down deeply and to reduce the torque increment when acceleration process is close to over. Performance of fuzzy control is tested by MATLAB simulation. Simulation results indicate that the presented fuzzy algorithm is feasible and effective for improving vehicle acceleration ability without damaging stable velocity control characteristic; in simulation, vehicle acceleration time of 0–100km/h has been reduced by 2.4 seconds.
