| contents | This paper presents a neural network optimizer with soft-argmax operator to achieve an ecological gearshift strategy in real-time. The strategy is reformulated as the mixed-integer model predictive control (MIMPC) problem to minimize energy consumption. Then the outer convexification is introduced to transform integer variables into relaxed binary controls. To approximate binary solutions properly within training, the soft-argmax operator is applied to the neural network with the fact that all the operations of this scheme are differentiable. Moreover, this operator can help push the relaxed binary variables close to 0 or 1. To evaluate the strategy effect, we deployed it to a 2-speed electric vehicle (EV). In contrast to the mature solver Bonmin, our proposed method not only achieves similar energy-saving effects but also significantly reduces the solution time to meet real-time requirements. This results in a notable energy savings of 6.02% compared to the rule-based method. |
