In order to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy for theoretical models and data-driven models for objective drivability evaluation requiring a large amount of data, an objective drivability evaluation method based on a hierarchical mixture model is proposed. First, a novel method of constructing a drivability evaluation system is developed, which combined by work breakdown structure (WBS) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Then, downshift condition is taken as a case study, and the subdivision condition is identified based on the hybrid mixture model. What's more, the drivability evaluation indexes of downshift condition are analyzed to establish the evaluation system of drivability.

The drivability plays an important role for marketability and competitiveness of passenger car in meeting some customer requirements, which directly affects the driving experience and the desire of purchasing. In this paper, a framework of objective drivability evaluation with multi-source information fusion for passenger car is proposed. At first, according to vehicle powertrain system and optimization theory, certain vehicle performances, which are closely related to objective drivability are analyzed, including vehicle longitudinal acceleration, vehicle speed, engine torque, engine speed, gear position, accelerator pedal, brake signal and voltage signal. Then, combined with the evaluation criterion of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), mean error (ME), root mean squared error (RMSE) and signal smoothness (SS), a de-noising method is developed for the drivability evaluation information.
