  • Patent number: 11628838
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of improving fuel efficiency of a fuel cell electric vehicle, and an apparatus and a system therefor. The method includes collecting navigation information and vehicle speed information, calculating a coasting line when a specified event point is detected based on the navigation information, determining whether deceleration is necessary by comparing a current traveling speed with a coasting line speed corresponding to a current location, and changing a criterion for determining whether to enter a fuel cell stop (FC STOP) state when the deceleration is necessary as a determination result.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160355101
    Abstract: A method for calculating an amount of hydrogen consumed by a fuel cell vehicle, in order to improve the accuracy of fuel efficiency calculation when the fuel cell vehicle travels under real-world conditions, includes: calculating a hydrogen consumption amount via integration of stack current generated in a fuel cell stack, calculating an amount of unreacted hydrogen purged from the fuel cell stack, and calculating a final hydrogen consumption amount by adding the purged amount of hydrogen to the hydrogen consumption amount calculated via the stack current integration.
