Abstract: A method for managing a state of charge (SOC) of an energy store of a vehicle comprising storing an encoding of a dynamic weight value, computationally determining an estimated travel time to a stopover location, using the estimated travel time to modify the dynamic weight value to provide an updated dynamic weight value, and responsive to providing the updated dynamic weight value, increasing the SOC of the energy store while the vehicle travels over a roadway to provide a target SoC of the energy store when the vehicle arrives at the stopover location.

Abstract: A vehicle is proposed to control regeneration and reuse of captured energy in a through-the-road hybrid configuration. The vehicle comprises a vehicle frame, an energy store, and a controller. The vehicle frame is configured for over-the-roadway travel under a power of plural drive axles. At least one of the plural drive axles is coupled via a primary drivetrain to a fuel-fed engine to drive at least a pair of wheels. At least one other of the plural drive axles is an electrically-powered drive axle configured to supply supplemental torque to additional wheels. The energy store is configured to supply the electrically-powered drive axle with electrical power in a first mode of operation and receive energy recovered using the electrically-powered drive axle in a second mode of operation. The controller is coupled between the electrically-powered drive axle and one or more sensor inputs to transition between different modes of operation.

Abstract: A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a truck, a tractor unit, a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, at a tandem, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.

Abstract: Through-the-road (TTR) hybrid designs using control strategies such as an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) or adaptive ECMS are implemented at the supplemental torque delivering electrically-powered drive axle (or axles) in a manner that follows operational parameters or computationally estimates states of the primary drivetrain and/or fuel-fed engine, but does not itself participate in control of the fuel-fed engine or primary drivetrain. On vehicle adaptation of BSFC type data for paired-with fuel-fed engine allows an ECMS implementation (or other similar control strategy) to refine efficiency curves for the particular fuel-fed engine and/or operating conditions in a manner that can improve overall efficiencies of a TTR hybrid configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods to control recapture and use of energy to provide an APU include a vehicle having an electrically powered drive axle to provide supplemental torque to the vehicle to supplement primary motive forces applied through a separate drivetrain powered by a fuel-fed engine of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes an energy store to supply the electrically powered drive axle with electrical power or receive energy recovered using the electrically powered drive axle. The vehicle also includes the APU coupled to receive electrical power from the energy store for stopover operation and without idling of the fuel-fed engine. Further, the vehicle includes a hybrid control system for managing, based on an estimated travel time to a stopover location, an SoC of the energy store while the vehicle travels over a roadway to provide a target SoC of the energy store when the vehicle arrives at the stopover location.
