Reduced Fuel Consumption for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Caption

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have come up with a method to automatically identify recurrent travel routes from logged driving data and compute optimal control rules for these. Moreover, Viktor Larsson has developed methods to make the calculations more efficient in terms of computation time and memory. The strategy can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10 percent compared to conventional methods.
