A method and system for controlling a fuel cell vehicle are provided. The method includes determining, by a controller, a driving pattern of a driver based on driving information including acceleration and deceleration information. A condition for activation of an idling-stop of a fuel cell is then set based on the determined driving pattern and the fuel cell is stopped from generating electric energy when the condition for activation of the idling-stop is satisfied.

A computer implemented method controls vehicle operation. The vehicle has vehicle components operable by processing circuitry based on predicted user behavior. The method includes receiving, by the processing circuitry, a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle; comparing, by the processing circuitry, the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior. When a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit: new user behavior based on the current user behavior is formed and operation of at least one of the vehicle components is controlled using the new user behavior.

The invention concerns a method for optimization of the energy consumption of a motor vehicle (2) comprising a fuel or hydrogen tank, a battery and/or super-capacitors (30), a thermal engine (M) or a fuel cell (P), an electrical machine (ME), a plurality of devices, each characterized by at least one variable of state, and a computer (4) configured to control the traction chain of the motor vehicle (2) over a predetermined distance, and being able to control the thermal engine (M) or the fuel cell (P), the electrical machine (ME) and/or the devices by the emission of a series of set-points. The invention also concerns a computer (4) and a computer program product for implementation of such a method, as well as a motor vehicle (2) comprising such a computer (4).
