  Motivated by the concerns on transported fuel consumption and global air
pollution, industrial engineers, and academic researchers have made many
efforts to construct more efficient and environment-friendly vehicles. Hybrid
electric vehicles (HEVs) are the representative ones because they can satisfy
the power demand by coordinating energy supplements among different energy
storage devices. To achieve this goal, energy management approaches are crucial
technology, and driving cycles are the critical influence factor. Therefore,
this paper aims to summarize driving cycle-driven energy management strategies
(EMSs) for HEVs. First, the definition and significance of driving cycles in
the energy management field are clarified, and the recent literature in this
research domain is reviewed and revisited. In addition, according to the known
information of driving cycles, the EMSs are divided into three categories, and
the relevant study directions, such as standard driving cycles, long-term
driving cycle generation (LT-DCG) and short-term driving cycle prediction
(ST-DCP) are illuminated and analyzed. Furthermore, the existing database of
driving cycles in highway and urban aspects are displayed and discussed.
Finally, this article also elaborates on the future prospects of energy
management technologies related to driving cycles. This paper focusing on
helping the relevant researchers realize the state-of-the-art of HEVs energy
management field and also recognize its future development direction.
