Abstract
A device for controlling a hybrid vehicle includes a storage storing a map in which an on reference value and an off reference value of an engine are recorded, a navigation device setting a route from a current location to a destination, a transceiver receiving a speed profile for each section on the route, and a controller dividing the route into a plurality of sections and correcting the map based on the received speed profile for each section to correct a map for determining an on time point and an off time point of an engine based on the speed profile most similar to the driving style of a driver.
Claims12
A hybrid vehicle controlling device comprising:
- a storage configured to store a map in which an on reference value and an off reference value of an engine are recorded;
- a navigation device configured to set a route from a current location to a destination;
- a transceiver configured to receive a speed profile for each section on the route;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- divide the route into a plurality of sections;
- correct the map based on the received speed profile for the each section,
- when receiving a plurality of speed profiles of vehicles that are driving on the each section from a sever, select one speed profile the most similar to a driving style of a driver of a host vehicle, and operate the host vehicle based on the selected one speed profile;
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive an average speed and an average acceleration of other vehicles that drive on a reference road;
- and
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- display a value Sxr obtained by subtracting the average speed of the host vehicle driving on the reference road from the average speed of the other vehicles driving on the reference road and a value Syr obtained by subtracting the average acceleration of the host vehicle driving on the reference road from the average acceleration of the other vehicles driving on the reference road, on coordinates (Sx, Sy) as a location of the host vehicle;
- display a value Sx1 obtained by subtracting an average speed of a first speed profile from the average speed of the plurality of speed profiles and a value Sy1 obtained by subtracting an average acceleration of the first speed profile from the average acceleration of the plurality of speed profiles, on the coordinates (Sx, Sy);
- display a value Sx2 obtained by subtracting an average speed of a second speed profile from the average speed of the plurality of speed profiles and a value Sy2 obtained by subtracting an average acceleration of the second speed profile from the average acceleration of the plurality of speed profiles, on the coordinates (Sx, Sy);
- and
- select a speed profile positioned closest to the location of the host vehicle on the coordinate.
