    摘要: A vehicle system controller (20) is presented for a LSR parallel hybrid electric vehicle having an engine (10), a motor (12), wheels (14), a transmission (16) and a battery (18). The vehicle system controller (20) has a state machine having a plurality of predefined states (22-32) that represent operating modes for the vehicle. A set of rules is defined for controlling the transition between any two states in the state machine. The states (22-32) are prioritized according to driver demands, energy management concerns and system fault occurrences. The vehicle system controller (20) controls the transitions from a lower priority state to a higher priority state based on the set of rules. In addition, the vehicle system controller (20) will control a transition to a lower state from a higher state when the conditions no longer warrant staying in the current state. A unique set of output commands is defined for each state for the purpose of controlling lower level subsystem controllers. These commands serve to achieve the desire vehicle functionality within each state and insure smooth transitions between states.

    摘要: A starter/alternator system (24) for hybrid electric vehicle (10) having an internal combustion engine (12) and an energy storage device (34) has a controller (30) coupled to the starter/alternator (26). The controller (30) has a state of charge manager (40) that monitors the state of charge of the energy storage device. The controller has eight battery state-of-charge threshold values that determine the hybrid operating mode of the hybrid electric vehicle. The value of the battery state-of-charge relative to the threshold values is a factor in the determination of the hybrid mode, for example; regenerative braking, charging, battery bleed, boost. The starter/alternator may be operated as a generator or a motor, depending upon the mode.

    摘要: A vehicle system controller for a vehicle having an engine, a motor/generator, and subsystem controllers is provided. The vehicle system controller includes a state machine having a number of predefined states which represent vehicle operating modes. The predefined states include a motor drive state, which represents a vehicle operating mode wherein the motor/generator provides all driveline torques. The vehicle system controller further includes a set of rules which define logical relationships between each of the predefined states. A set of commands, unique to each state, are supplied to the subsystem controllers. The commands are provided to the subsystem controllers to achieve desired vehicle functionality within the states, and to transition between different states.

    摘要: The invention provides a strategy to start a parallel HEV powertrain engine while maintaining a smooth vehicle response to driver demand using the motor while simultaneously closing an engine disconnect clutch. In the preferred embodiment, the strategy starts an engine (based on, for example, driver demand), closes the disconnect clutch, commands a desired motor/generator speed, fuels the engine, calculates a desired engine torque and gradually reduces actual motor/generator torque while proportionally increasing actual engine torque until motor/generator torque is zero while maintaining vehicle velocity using, for example, a proportional plus integral controller. The prediction of a desired motor/generator speed can be: a trajectory comparison based on present and past vehicle velocity and acceleration or on vehicle accelerator position, or a determination of whether the vehicle is in speed control mode. The system can also add additional strategies such as a termination strategy if a vehicle brake is applied.

    摘要: A regenerative brake control method and system for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a disconnect clutch separating the engine from the motor. When the engine is disconnected from the HEV powertrain, more regenerative braking energy is possible because the negative powertrain torque of the engine's friction and pumping is eliminated. The control can determine when to disconnect and reconnect the engine to the powertrain using, for example, driver demand, vehicle speed, accelerator position, brake pedal position, engine state, motor state, and motor fault status. The control also minimizes powertrain disturbance to improve vehicle drivability by continuously adjusting the amount of regenerative braking to correspond to the changing torque of the engine on the powertrain during disconnect or reconnect.
