Energy Management For Electric Vehicles in Smart Cities: A Deep Learning Approach.

We propose a solution for Electric Vehicles (EVs) energy management in smart cities, where a deep learning approach is used to enhance the energy consumption of electric vehicles by trajectory and delay predictions. Two Recurrent Neural Networks are adapted and trained on 60 days of urban traffic. The trained networks show precise prediction of trajectory and delay, even for long prediction intervals. An algorithm is designed and applied on well known energy models for traction and air conditioning. We show how it can prevent from a battery exhaustion. Experimental results combining both RNN and energy models demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution in terms of route trajectory and delay prediction, enhancing the energy management.
