✦ Synopsis

A series hybrid city bus with diesel engine and electric batteries is studied on a speci"ed route. The study uses two di!erent basic control strategies, On/o!a and Continuousa strategy. These basic strategies are complemented in two ways. First, an Advisera strategy which "lters the driver commands and gives driver support feedback based on the route data. Second, an Adaptera strategy, which adapts and the control to the route, using di!erent control depending on the vehicle present position. Simulation results are presented. They show that the adviser and adapter strategies improves both emissions and fuel consumption.
