The power management control system development and vehicle test results for a medium-duty hybrid electric truck are reported in this paper. The design procedure adopted is a model-based approach, and was based on the dynamic programming technique. A vehicle model is first developed, the optimal control action that maximizes fuel economy is then solved by the dynamic programming method. A near-optimal control strategy is subsequently extracted and implemented in the MATLAB XPC-Target rapid-prototyping system, which provides a convenient environment to adjust the control algorithms and accommodate various I/O configurations. Dyno-testing results confirm that the proposed algorithm helps the prototype truck to achieves an impressive 45% fuel economy improvement over the benchmark vehicle.
