A system for determining desired control paths for controlling operation of a fuel cell circuit includes a memory to store a model of the fuel cell circuit and an input device to receive system requirements. The system also includes a model processor designed to select sets of time-series actuator states corresponding to time-series control of an actuator of the fuel cell circuit and to perform simulations of the model using the multiple sets of time-series actuator states as controls for the actuator. The model processor is also performs an analysis of results of the simulations to determine whether the results for each of the multiple sets of time-series actuator states satisfy the system requirements and how far the results are from the system requirements, and selects a final set of time-series actuator states that satisfy the system requirements based on the analysis.

A method for electrically charging an energy store. The method includes the following steps: starting an electrical charging process for the energy store in a first configuration; interrupting the charging process, changing the configuration of the energy store from the first configuration to a second configuration, and resuming the charging process in the second configuration. The energy store in the first configuration is designed to be charged with a higher electrical voltage than in the second configuration.

Autoscrubbers are capable of being operated in a manual (e.g. walk-behind) mode and an autonomous (operator free) mode and capable of switching between such operational modes. Apparatus and methods for steering such autoscrubbers use steering torque mechanisms to apply steering torques independently to left and right drive wheels. Steering systems for autonomous operation may be retrofit onto existing walk-behind autoscrubbers to implement this functionality. The autonomous control capability may not detract appreciably from an operator's ability to use the autoscrubber in a manual (walk-behind) mode.

A vehicle control method applied to a server is provided. In the method, the server receives vehicle data from multiple vehicles and selects a target vehicle from the multiple vehicles according to the received vehicle data, and generates a first control instruction based on a target monitoring device in response that the target vehicle includes the target monitoring device and sends the first control instruction to the target vehicle, and receives target monitoring data sent by the target vehicle after the target vehicle executing the first control instruction, and generates a second control instruction according to the target monitoring data and the first control instruction and sends the second control instruction to the target vehicle. The method can improve an endurance of a battery of the vehicle.

Embodiments describe a battery system that includes a first battery module coupled to a regenerative braking system and a control module that controls operation of the battery system by: determining a predicted driving pattern over a prediction horizon using a driving pattern recognition model based in part on a battery current and a previous driving pattern; determining a predicted battery resistance of the first battery module over the prediction horizon using a recursive battery model based in part on the predicted driving pattern, the battery current, a present bus voltage, and a previous bus voltage; determining a target trajectory of a battery temperature of the first battery module over a control horizon using an objective function; and controlling magnitude and duration of electrical power supplied from the regenerative such that a predicted trajectory of the battery temperature is guided toward the target trajectory of the battery temperature during the control horizon.

Provided is a vehicle control system that appropriately performs synchronization control for a plurality of control systems. A monitoring circuit generates a command signal when only a first reset signal is input. The monitoring circuit generates a command signal when the state in which only the first reset signal is input is changed to the state in which the input of the first reset signal is stopped. With the command signal, a second clock signal is output to a timer generator as a second timing signal. With the command signal, the second clock signal generated by a second synchronization signal generating circuit is output to a first synchronization signal generating circuit, and a third clock signal generated by the first synchronization signal generating circuit is output to a timer generator as a first timing signal.

Systems and methods for commanding an electric drive system for an electric or hybrid vehicle are described. In one example, the drive system is commanded by a controller that supplies a pulsed torque command that varies in magnitude as a function of time when a driver of a vehicle requests a constant driver demand torque.
