description Energy conservation and emission reduction is a common concern in various industries. The construction process of electric wheel loaders has the advantages of being zero-emission and having a high energy efficiency, and has been widely recognized by the industry. The frequent shift in wheel loader working processes poses a serious challenge to the operator. Automatic shift is an effective way to improve the operator’s comfort and safety. The driving intention is an important input judgment condition to achieve efficient automatic shift. However, the current methods of vehicle driving intention recognition mainly focus on passenger cars. The working condition of the wheel loader is significantly different from that of the passenger car, with a high shifting frequency and severe load fluctuation. The driving intention recognition method of passenger cars is difficult to transplant directly. In this paper, aiming at the characteristics of wheel loader working conditions, a fuzzy recognition method based on fuzzy control is applied to driving intention recognition for electric wheel loaders. The throttle, throttle change rate and braking signals are used as inputs for recognizing the driving intention at the current moment of the whole machine. Five types of driving intentions, namely, rapid acceleration, normal acceleration, acceleration maintenance, deceleration and braking, are defined and recognized. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation and experimental research are carried out. The results show that the proposed driving intention recognition method can effectively identify the driver’s intention and provide effective shift signal input for the wheel loader.
