The recent development pace of the automotive technology is so rapid worldwide. Especially in a green car, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been studied a lot due to their significant effects on the urban driving. In the vehicle energy management strategy study, the driving speed is assumed to be known in advance, however the speed is not given in a real world. Accordingly, the prediction of vehicle speed is very important. In this study, we study the prediction methodology for the speed prediction using deep learning. Based on the vehicle driving speed data, the supervised deep learning has been used and the speed prediction accuracy using deep learning shows accurate results comparing to the actual speed. The supervised deep learning is used which is suitable for driving cycle database. As a result, the speed prediction after few seconds is feasible.

The increasing interest in the application of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to Internal Combustion Engines (hereafter ICEs) flows is motivated by its capability to capture spatial and temporal evolution of turbulent flow structures. Furthermore, LES is universally recognized as capable of simulating highly unsteady and random phenomena driving cycle-to-cycle variability (CCV) and cycle-resolved events such as knock and misfire. Several quality criteria were proposed in the recent past to estimate LES uncertainty: however, definitive conclusions on LES quality criteria for ICEs are still far to be found. This paper describes the application of LES quality criteria to the TCC-III single-cylinder optical engine from University of Michigan and GM Global R&D; the analyses are carried out under motored condition.
