Abstract

Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS) are now available on some cities worldwide covering the so-called lastmile for people transportation. These electric vehicles are expecting to operate during several hours without interruptions. It implies that energy consumption plays a key role when it comes to extend its autonomy. This paper presents a new algorithm for reference speed generation of CTS with energy consumption considerations. It consists on a two layer controller: the first one is in charge of generating the speed reference based on an energetic model, and the second one is a high-level fuzzy system to improve some low-level undesirable behaviors. The designed system was compared with three other algorithms in a real platform, showing promising results in terms of energy saving.
