Abstract: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been used for vehicle speed prediction, trajectory prediction and state diagnosis. As a variant of RNNs, long short-term memory (LSTM) has better state memory ability to deal with problems that have sequential characteristics. In this study, a neural network with two substructures was developed and LSTM was used as the core part for a power-split hybrid powertrain energy management problem, and the optimal control data obtained from the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm was used as the training set. Then on a vehicle model established on coasting-down test data, LSTM conducted real-time control. This paper analyzes the battery status, fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and operating condition of the engine and motor. The results showed that LSTM has good generalization ability and real-time control capability. In the test driving cycles of CHTC-LT and C-WTVC, the theoretical optimal scheme given by the DP algorithm is only 12.15% and 17.96% lower than the LSTM scheme in terms of fuel consumption. In addition, the influence of network size, training epochs and training set on energy-saving effect is compared in detail, it was found that the relatively optimal model required 128 LSTM layer units and 500 training epochs.
