This system ensures industry-leading power and braking performance of the ACE heavy truck while automatically optimizes both energy saving and emission reduction based on the vehicle's dynamic driving data and 3D electronic map information of roads for any transport event. In this application, the conventional analog electronic control (AEC) method is replaced by a novel digital pulse control (DPC) method on the instantaneous power function of the engine. The DPC method converts the complex surface working conditions of the AEC engine of the hybrid vehicles into simpler pre-defined working condition lines of the DPC engine. Consequently, the multi-variable nonlinear technical problem of simultaneously optimizing real driving environment (RDE) fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of the ACE heavy truck is simplified into two decoupled quasi-liner optimization problems, and ensures the reduction of on-vehicle computing resources for real-time AI inference computation and the improvement of the optimal performance, the convergent rate, and the robustness of the corresponding fuel-saving algorithm for the trained ML model or the learned RL model. Ultimately, the ACE truck achieves in the engineering sense the global minimum RDE fuel consumption and pollutant emissions meeting the standard consistently at high performance to cost ratio for any transport event and the RDE fuel consumption is decoupled from the vehicle configuration parameters and the human driver.
