Embedded Systems in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: A Comprehensive Review of Technological Advancements and Integration Challenges

  • Unique Paper ID: 174784
  • Volume: 11
  • Issue: 11
  • PageNo: 1320-1325
  • Abstract:
  • The rapid evolution of electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs/HVs) has precipitated significant advancements in embedded systems that control their operation. This review paper examines the state-of-the-art embedded systems technologies employed in modern EVs/HVs, with particular focus on powertrain control, battery management systems (BMS), energy-efficient routing algorithms, and regenerative braking systems. Through a systematic review of recent literature, this paper identifies key technological trends, integration challenges, and future research directions. The analysis reveals that while embedded systems have substantially improved EV/HV efficiency and performance, significant challenges remain in terms of system complexity, reliability, security, and standardization. The paper also highlights the growing importance of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communication systems and their role in energy optimization. This comprehensive review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers working on the next generation of sustainable transportation technologies.
