An operation controller of a fuel cell and an operation control method thereof in a system for generating a drive output through a fuel cell and a battery includes a processor for selectively performing a driving stop control of the fuel cell through an operation variable including a required drive output and a load weight.

A vehicle control system determines an upper non-zero limit on deceleration of a vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle down a grade being traveled up on by the vehicle. The upper non-zero limit on deceleration is determined by the controller based on a payload carried by the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, and a grade of a route being traveled upon by the vehicle. The controller is configured to monitor the deceleration of the vehicle, and to automatically prevent the deceleration of the vehicle from exceeding the upper non-zero limit by controlling one or more of a brake or a motor of the vehicle. The controller also is configured to one or more of actuate the brake or supply current to the motor of the vehicle to prevent rollback of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving up the grade at a non-zero speed.

The present disclosure relates to a method for predicting battery consumption of an electric vehicle and a device for the same. An electronic device includes an input unit which obtains destination information from a user, a memory, and at least one processor which is operatively connected to the input unit and the memory. The at least one processor may obtain a travel path of an electric vehicle, which is derived based on the destination information and may predict battery consumption when the electric vehicle travels along the travel path.

A management method of a battery system includes determining whether a wireless communication failure occurs between a master battery management system (BMS) and at least one of a plurality of slave battery management systems (BMSs); receiving road condition information of where the vehicle equipped with the battery system is currently positioned if the wireless communication failure occurs; determining whether the vehicle is on the road based on the road condition information; setting a first failure confirmation time if the current position of the vehicle is on the road; setting a second failure confirmation time if the current position of the vehicle is not located on the road; and entering a safety mode if a wireless communication failure section from the time when the wireless communication failure occurs to the current time reaches the first failure confirmation time or the second failure confirmation time.
