Energy Management for Hybrid Electric Vehicles based on Fuzzy Clustering and Genetic Algorithms

Throughout the world, there is a trend towards the growth of vehicle traffic and an increase in road transport. The number of cars is growing twice to three times faster than the rate of growth of the population and car use is increasing even more rapidly.
