  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING DYNAMIC OPERATING MODES AND CONTROL POLICIES FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20140229043
    Abstract: Systems and/or methods for controlling dual motor-dual clutch powertrains for HEV and PHEV vehicles are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising: determining the state of charge (SOC) of said batteries; determining the speed of the vehicle; if the SOC is greater than a given first threshold, selecting a charge-depleting operational mode of said vehicle; during operation of said vehicle, if the SOC is less than a given second threshold, selecting a charge-sustaining operating mode of said vehicle. In another embodiment, a system having a controller that operates the powertrain according to various embodiments is disclosed.

  • Model-based inlet air dynamics state characterization
    Patent number: 7321820
    Abstract: An engine control system that having an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve includes a first module that determines an EGR error and a second module that calculates a fuel injection timing based on the EGR error. Operation of an engine is regulated based on the fuel injection timing to reduce emissions during transient operation of the engine.
