MAE team AutoMan wins 2nd place in 2022 IEEE VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge

Congratulation to MAE Team AutoMan: Ph.D. students Wu Jingda, Huang Zhiyu, under the supervision of Nanyang Asst Prof Lyu Chen from NTU School of MAE for winning second place in the 2022 IEEE VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge.

During the competition, the team was tasked to co-design the sizing and energy management strategy of an intelligent electric vehicle with a hybrid dual-energy storage system, in order to extend the battery life and travel range. The team developed a novel deep learning-based predictive energy management strategy that can accurately predict future energy consumption and manage energy flow accordingly.

Thanks to the outstanding prediction and control performance, the energy management strategy significantly reduced the degradation of the battery and improved the energy efficiency of the vehicle, helping the team win second place in the competition.
