Abstract: The instability of the interior temperature of the solar car during winter heating leads to a lot of unnecessary energy consumption. This paper proposes to predict internal temperature based on the improved adaptive genetic algorithm-back propagation neural network (IAGA-BP). Firstly, the traditional adaptive genetic algorithm's crossover and mutation probability are improved to get the improved adaptive genetic algorithm. Then, an internal temperature prediction model based on IAGA-BP neural network is established. Finally, the results of IAGA-BP are compared with results based on the particle swarm optimisation-back propagation neural network model (PSO-BP). The experimental results show that the mean absolute and square errors of IAGA-BP temperature prediction are 0.2810 and 0.1070. IAGA-BP network has better prediction accuracy than PSO-BP network. Therefore, IAGA-BP neural network temperature prediction model can reasonably predict the temperature to achieve the purpose of energy-saving.
