Abstract: A vehicle and method for controlling a vehicle having a variable displacement engine with an auxiliary machine connected directly to the engine crankshaft and to an energy storage device includes switching from a cylinder disablement (VDE) mode to a normal mode when the torque demand and engine speed lie outside an outer range defined by a first threshold (Tout), and switching from the normal mode to the VDE mode when the torque demand and engine speed lie within an inner range, which lies within the outer range and defined by a second threshold (Tin). When operating in a band between the two thresholds, the auxiliary machine draws energy from the energy storage device and supplements the output torque from the engine if operating in the VDE mode, and derives torque from the engine crankshaft to recharge the energy storage device if operating in the normal mode.

Abstract: A method for predicting travel of a vehicle includes determining a prediction starting location and a plurality of prediction destinations including a plurality of possible intersections within a boundary at a predefined distance from the starting location. The method also includes determining, for each destination, at least one route to the destination, resulting in a plurality of routes at least one of which corresponds to each destination, including determining a statistical likelihood of the vehicle remaining on an intersection-exit that is along a potential route and selecting at least one route to each destination with the highest statistical likelihood. Responsive to the vehicle no longer being on a selected route, selecting at least one new route to the at least one destination.
