Accurate EV range prediction is crucial for adoption and user confidence. This paper significantly improves estimation by accounting for individual driving styles, integrating map data and physics. This could lead to more reliable navigation and charging recommendations.
Original Abstract
This paper presents a personalized Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) energy consumption estimation framework that integrates map-based contextual features with driver-specific velocity prediction and physics-based energy consumption modeling. The system combines route selection, detailed road feature processing, a rule-based reference velocity generator, a PID controller-based vehicle dynamics simulator, and a Bidirectional LSTM model trained to reproduce individual driving behavior. The predicted individual-specific velocity profiles are coupled with a quasi-steady backward energy consumption model to compute tractive power, regenerative braking, and State-of-Charge (SOC) evolution. Evaluation across urban, freeway, and hilly routes demonstrates that the proposed approach captures key driver behavioral patterns such as deceleration at intersections, speed-limit tracking, and road grade-dependent responses, while producing accurate power and SOC trajectories. The results highlight the effectiveness of combining learned driver behavior with map-based context and physics-based energy consumption modeling to produce accurate, personalized BEV SOC depletion profiles.
