    Abstract: A system includes a powertrain controller operatively coupled with and configured to control operation of a powertrain of a vehicle and for bidirectional communication via a wireless communication path. An optimization engine is configured to determine optimized powertrain operation parameters for the powertrain controller and for bidirectional communication via a second communication path. A channel management engine is configured for bidirectional communication with the powertrain controller via the wireless communication path and for bidirectional communication with the optimization engine via the second communication path, the channel management engine configured to dynamically update a plurality of data channels including a first data channel storing a non-transitory dynamically-updated instance of powertrain operation data received from the powertrain controller, and a second data channel storing a non-transitory dynamically-updated instance of optimized powertrain operation parameters received from the optimization engine.

    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a powertrain including an electric motor operatively coupled with an automated manual transmission and an electronic control system including a gear shift control module, a transmission control module, and a motor control module in operative communication with one another over one or more controller area networks. The electronic control system includes supervisory controls configured to configured to arbitrate between a plurality of motor operation requests received over the one or more controller area networks to select a winning motor operation request, the plurality of motor operation requests including the operator torque request, evaluate one or more shift inhibit conditions, and command the electric motor to provide the winning motor operation request when none of the one or more shift inhibit conditions evaluate as true.
