Abstract: A method determines a force to be transmitted to driving wheels of a vehicle provided with a hybrid power train with several gear ratios and a traction battery. The method includes determining, over all of a speed range that the vehicle is capable of achieving, a maximum force that the power train is theoretically capable of transmitting to the wheels in predetermined nominal conditions of charge of the traction battery and/or of outside temperature and/or of atmospheric pressure; and determining, over all of the speed range, a drivability force that the power train is capable of transmitting to the wheels. The drivability force confirms that whatever the value of the speed of the vehicle, the drivability force is less than or equal to the maximum force; and the drivability force evolves within the speed range without exhibiting an inflexion point at values of the speed requiring a gear change.

Abstract: Methods and vehicles may be configured to gain experience in the form of state-action and/or action-observation histories for an operational scenario as the vehicle traverses a vehicle transportation network. The histories may be incorporated into a model in the form of learning to improve the model over time. The learning may be used to improve integration with human behavior. Driver feedback may be used in the learning examples to improve future performance and to integrate with human behavior. The learning may be used to create customized scenario solutions. The learning may be used to transfer a learned solution and apply the learned solution to a similar scenario.
