    Driving style recognition plays a crucial role in enhancing personalized driving experiences and optimizing energy utilization in smart connected vehicles. Considering the relationship between different road environments and driving styles, a cascade delivery framework is designed to fully utilize real-world natural driving data and segment the data into events with distinct physical meanings. Using driver IDs as pseudo-labels, an XGBoost model learns differences in driving styles, identifying the key features and weights critical for recognition. Following the principles of a hybrid expert system, the WK-means algorithm clusters driving styles under varying conditions, ultimately generating driving scores to evaluate driver performance. The statistical analysis of the clustered data shows that this method effectively recognizes drivers with diverse driving styles, which lays the foundation for the further development of intelligent networked vehicle technology.

    Firstly, this paper reviews the definitions of the key states of lithium-ion batteries, including State of Charge (SOC), State of Power (SOP), State of Function (SOF), State of Energy (SOE), State of Health (SOH), Remaining Useful Life (RUL), State of Temperature (SOT) and State of Safety (SOS), and analyzes their coupling relationships. Then, it classifies and elaborates the methods for joint estimation of battery double states. In the future, multi-state joint estimation can further improve the estimation accuracy. Advanced sensor technologies, such as fiber-optic sensors, can more accurately measure the internal state quantities of batteries. At present, battery group state estimation is mostly focused on individual cells, and it is necessary to further explore the joint estimation at the battery module and group levels. Given the nonlinear characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, machine learning can achieve higher estimation accuracy with relatively low complexity. With the development of big data and cloud technologies, new-type battery state estimation will become a trend.
