  • Patent number: 11285934
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods of regulating vehicle powertrains in electric vehicles using driving patterns. A vehicle control unit (VCU) can be disposed in the electric vehicle. The VCU can maintain operation profiles. Each operation profile can specify a set of regulation parameters to be applied to the vehicle powertrain for motion measurement and an engine measurement identified as associated with an environmental condition. The VCU can compare the motion measurement and the engine measurement acquired from the sensor with the motion measurement and the engine measurement specified by an operation profile. The VCU can select an operation profile based on the comparison. The VCU can identify the set of regulation parameters for an environmental condition specified by the operation profile. The VCU can apply the set of regulation parameters to the vehicle powertrain to control the propulsion of the electric vehicle in accordance with the operation profile.

  • Publication number: 20210139014
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for allocating power distribution in hybrid vehicle drivetrains. An engine instrumentation unit can acquire engine measurements on a hybrid drivetrain of a vehicle. The engine measurements can include a fuel use measurement of a combustion engine and a battery use measurement of an electric motor. A vehicle control unit can maintain a power distribution profile. Each power distribution profile can define a power allocation to the combustion engine and a power allocation to the electric motor specified for engine measurements as associated with an environmental condition. The vehicle control unit can compare the engine measurements. The vehicle control unit can select a power distribution profile based on the comparison. The vehicle control unit can set a power splitter to transfer of the mechanical power from the combustion engine and the electric motor to a differential unit in accordance with the power distribution profile.
