摘要： A system and method for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain having an engine, a generator, and a motor connected via a planetary gear set to detect lockup in the planetary gear set and control the powertrain in response. When torque is distributed in an electric mode of operation with the engine disabled, the generator is disabled based at least upon a difference between actual generator speed and an expected generator speed exceeding a threshold, indicating a lockup in the planetary gear set. When the engine is activated and distributes torque through the powertrain, the engine and the generator are disabled based at least upon a difference between engine acceleration and an expected engine acceleration exceeding a first threshold, and a difference between engine speed and ring gear speed being less than a second threshold.

摘要： A controller and a method for use in a vehicle to limit noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) by controlling torque matching between a first power source and a second power source. A first and a second torque estimate are made for the first power source. The torque matching comprises calculating a correction factor based upon a comparison of the torque estimates made during steady-state operating conditions of the vehicle. The first torque estimate is based on operating parameters for the first power source and the second torque estimate is based on operating parameters for the second power source.

摘要： The invention is a controller for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to meet driver expectation when forward wide open throttle (WOT) acceleration is requested while optimizing the total powertrain system efficiency and performance, especially when the engine is not even running. The controller can consider accelerator position, PRNDL position, and vehicle speed and start the engine if an estimated sum torque of a traction motor and generator motor is less than the calculated sum torque output of the traction motor and the engine at any given speed. Other control variables can include battery condition such as operating capacity, temperature, and state of charge. A constant can be added to allow a prestart of the engine to assure it is available when needed to maintain vehicle WOT acceleration requests.
