Abstract: A supervisory control strategy was developed to control the power distribution between an engine and an electric motor to make a bus transporting system more efficiently. The supervisory controller used the information like altitude, vehicle speed and set routes recorded from a GPS (global positioning system) receiver to optimize the fuel economy. The supervisory controller used Power Split Ratio (PSR) between two power sources. A PSR line derived from the Dynamic Programming theory can derive one of the optimal control concepts. The results show that the parallel hybrid bus can save its fuel consumption about 15%~40% compared with the conventional bus system.

Key words: hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), control algorithm, state of charge (SOC), global positioning system (GPS), power split ratio (PSR)
