The paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of two different energy management strategies which are the management strategy based on the dynamic system running state and the management strategy based on the driving cycle. The paper focuses on the study of the strategy based on the driving cycle, and points out that though the operation process of the global optimization strategy based on the driving cycle takes long and large amount of calculation so that it can hardly be used in the real vehicle. The strategy can be taken as the reference for the ideal optimization control target. In order to achieve the real-time optimal control, there are mainly the method based on the driving cycle of recognition control strategy and the method based on model predictive control, etc. It makes the exploration to predict the real-time optimal control strategy based on the driving cycle become real, and the effects of the control results get close to the offline global optimization. The proposed strategy is a new research hotspot and research trend of energy management strategy.
