Influence of the Driver Style difference in the Acceleration Process on the Energy Consumption of the EV Bus

The relationship between the difference of the driver behavior and energy consumption in the same bus line was studied through analyzing the acceleration process of the driving cycles in order to solve the problem that the practical benefits in endurance mileage of the electric buses differed a lot. It shows that 47% of the energy was consumed in the process of out station and the difference reached 28.9% between the drivers. The essential reason of the difference was the deviaton of the motor operating path in the efficiency plane which was the result of accelerator pedal used in different way. The end speed of acceleration and the distribution of the accelerator pedal was useful to experss the driver style. An effective management to the motor operating path in the out station process is very helpful to the improvement of the whole energy consumption besides the minimization of the acceleration dispersion.
