Abstract
A method and system for controlling a fuel cell vehicle are provided. The method includes determining, by a controller, a driving pattern of a driver based on driving information including acceleration and deceleration information. A condition for activation of an idling-stop of a fuel cell is then set based on the determined driving pattern and the fuel cell is stopped from generating electric energy when the condition for activation of the idling-stop is satisfied.
Claims14
A method for controlling a fuel cell vehicle, comprising:
- determining, by a controller, a driving pattern of a driver based on driving information including acceleration and deceleration information;
- setting, by the controller, a condition for activation of an idling-stop of a fuel cell based on the determined driving pattern;
- and
- stopping, by the controller, the fuel cell from generating electric energy when the condition for activation of the idling-stop is satisfied,
- wherein the determination of the driving pattern includes:
- obtaining, by the controller, an average of speed changes for acceleration driving or deceleration driving;
- comparing, by the controller, the average with a first reference value that is preset and a second reference value that is less than the first reference value;
- and
- determining, by the controller, that the driving pattern is a first driving pattern when the average is greater than the first reference value, and is a second driving pattern when the average is equal to or less than the first reference value and is greater than the second reference value.

A system for controlling a fuel cell vehicle, comprising:
- an acceleration-and-deceleration information acquisition unit configured to acquire acceleration information and deceleration information of a vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a driving of a driver pattern using the acquired acceleration information and deceleration information, set a condition for activation of an idling-stop of a fuel cell using the determined driving pattern, and stop a fuel cell from generating power when the condition for activation of the idling-stop is satisfied,
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- obtain an average of speed changes for acceleration driving or deceleration driving;
- compare the average with a first reference value that is preset and a second reference value that is less than the first reference value;
- and
- determine that the driving pattern is a first driving pattern when the average is greater than the first reference value, and is a second driving pattern when the average is equal to or less than the first reference value and is greater than the second reference value.
