DESCRIPTION:Pr. S. Savaresi\, Department of Electronics and Information\, 
 Politecnico di Milano\, Italy.\nThe traveling range is a key-performance i
 ndicator for an electric vehicle. As a matter of fact\, the high-cost of t
 he battery pack\, the limited availability of recharging stations\, and th
 e large recharging-time make this parameter extremely critical for the dai
 ly usage of an electric vehicle. Traditionally\, the vehicles are equipped
  with “range-estimators”: algorithms\, which try to make a real-time p
 rediction of the residual traveling range.\nIn the seminar a completely di
 fferent approach will be proposed and briefly discussed: the closed-loop c
 ontrol of the range. According to this approach\, a desired discharge prof
 ile is tracked (as a function of the traveling distance)\, and the drive-s
 tyle (condensed in a single variable) is used as control variable. The res
 ult is a guaranteed traveling-distance\, with minimum impact of the vehicl
 e performances. \nThis approach has been demonstrated with experimental re
 sults on a small electric vehicle.
