Research on Hybrid Electric Vehicle Torque Observer Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and Least Squares Support Vector Machine Joint Optimization Theory

Abstract

In this paper, based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Least Square Support Vector Machine (LSSVM), the torque observer for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) is established. Data from the benchmarking test is employed as the training sample, and the DWT-LSSVM based multi-layer observer was trained to observe the torque distribution results of hybrid electric vehicles. The DWT -LSSVM based multi-layer observer can accurately offer the control results of the original vehicle and solve the problem that it is difficult to reproduce the control results of the original vehicle completely. The main work is as follows: first, a multi-layer observation model based on DWT-LSSVM is established. Multiple LSSVM modules are used to observe the input signals with different frequency that are decomposed by wavelet method, and wavelet reconstruction method is used to integrate the observation results of different input signals to obtain the final observation result of vehicle torque distribution. Secondly, the cross-validation method is used to optimize the parameters in LSSVM model to ensure the accuracy of model prediction. Thirdly, taking the test data of a four-wheel drive hybrid electric vehicle (4WD-HEV)as an example, the observation model proposed in this paper is compared with the simply LSSVM observation model. The results show that the observation results of the torque observation model based on DWT-LSSVM are better than those by the simply LSSVM observation model. The compare results justify the proposed method can improve the accuracy of torque observation.
