Development of a driver model for the analysis of fuel economy

This paper developed driver model for the simulation of driving tendencies. Existing research about the driver model, commonly known as the operation of fuel economy trends and tendencies, there were other problems that tend. Therefore, this study focused on the tendency to mimic actual changes in fuel economy by driving tendency. In the future, Driver model developed in this paper is intended to take advantage of considering driving tendencies in the study of adaptive hybrid power distribution algorithm. The new driver model was designed with speed tracking type and distant retained type. Speed tracking type follows reference speed only in a certain range. Distant retained type additionally imitates the driving characteristic that maintains a safe distance from ahead of the car. Driving pattern was made with aggressivity, sensitivity, incompetence of the six grades. Aggressivity is the amount of pedals to manipulate the speed error. Sensitivity is the switching frequency that AP-mode changes to coasting mode and BP-mode. Finally, through co-simulation with cruise vehicle model and simulink based driver model, this paper confirmed that the difference in fuel consumption according to driving tendencies is similar to actual driver of a typical fuel economy trends
