27 Feb 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is equipped with an energy storage system (ESS) and the main power unit (HPU) and, using an optimal fuel cost strategy, scans all possible combinations of power from the HPU and ESS that satisfy the motive demand power.
Abstract: An operating strategy for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) manages the flow of energy to both supply the motive demand power of the HEV and maintain the charge of the energy storage system (ESS). A controller operates the main power unit (HPU) and ESS and, using an optimal fuel cost strategy, scans all possible combinations of power from the HPU and ESS that satisfy the motive demand power. The combination with the lowest fuel cost is selected and the ESS is charged, when possible, using marginal charging; but, if the state of charge of the ESS falls below a certain level, fast charging is invoked. A minimum power threshold strategy can be used rather than the fuel cost strategy. The minimum power threshold strategy determines the optimal compromise of HPU operation and ESS operation to maximize fuel economy by using a motive power threshold below which the HPU is not operated except to recharge the ESS.

30 Aug 2000TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle navigation system for providing route guidance in response to an input destination is presented, which consists of a position sensing unit for sensing the location of the vehicle, a user input device for entering preferred route criteria and the desired destination, a display for outputting route guidance information, a controller, and a machine learning unit.
Abstract: A vehicle navigation system for providing route guidance in response to an input destination. The navigation system comprises a position sensing unit for sensing the location of the vehicle, a user input device for entering preferred route criteria and the desired destination, a display for outputting route guidance information, a controller, and a machine learning unit. The machine learning unit communicates with the controller and the user input, and monitors the user-selected preferred route criteria during a learning phase. Once the preferred route criteria have been learned, the machine learning unit enters an intervention phase whereby inferred user-preferred route criteria is transmitted directly to the controller. In this manner, users need not enter preferred route criteria upon each navigation sequence.

01 Apr 1988TL;DR: In this paper, a method for controlling the transfer of load from one friction element to another friction element while making a gear ratio change in an automatic transmission was proposed, where a constant is calculated from known speed ratios of the gear set, engine inertia, the difference in engine speed from synchronous speed and a constant that corresponds to the output torque at the end of the torque phase.
Abstract: A method for controlling the transfer of load from one friction element to another friction element while making a gear ratio change in an automatic transmission. The synchronous engine speed is increased by slipping the offgoing clutch. A constant is calculated from known speed ratios of the gear set, engine inertia, the difference in engine speed from synchronous speed and a constant that corresponds to the output torque at the end of the torque phase of the gear ratio shift. The time rate of change of the offgoing clutch torque is calculated and the clutch pressures are changed in accordance with the calculated torque slope.
