Abstract

This paper presents an approach to planning the driving velocity of an electric vehicle. As an object of study a prototype vehicle Mushellka has been chosen. It was built to take part in the Shell Eco-marathon competition. The competition took place in May 2012 and 2013. The paper presents the results of the determined optimum velocity for the street circuit in Rotterdam. Optimizations were performed using evolutionary algorithms. The objective function was to minimize the energy consumption. The calculations were performed in Matlab Simulink. The paper describes the mathematical modelling of the vehicle, the idea and the method of route planning, as well as the use of a prototype telematic system.
