A method is provided for ascertaining a torque curve of a hybrid powertrain including a first sub-powertrain an internal combustion engine, and a second sub-powertrain, which is separated from the first sub-powertrain by a torsional elasticity and has an electric machine with a rotor (10). A rotational characteristic value of the first sub-powertrain is detected via a sensor arranged on the torsional elasticity. A rotational characteristic value of the rotor is detected via a device engaged with the rotor. An irregularity in operation of the internal combustion engine is determined based on at least one of the rotational characteristic value of the first sub-powertrain or the rotational characteristic value of the rotor. The electric machine is controlled based on the irregularity m operation.

A hybrid power train structure for off-road vehicles (ATVs, UTVs and SSVs) uses an internal combustion engine (“ICE”) rotating a crankshaft through a continuously variable transmission (“CVT”) as a primary source of locomotion torque, but also includes a driving/generator motor which, in certain established conditions, can either provide an additional or alternative source of locomotion torque or can harvest electricity from the torque created by the internal combustion engine. The driving/generator motor is an axial flux motor of small size for its relative torque output, which can either be directly coupled to the CVT output shaft or, when additionally used as a starter motor for the ICE in an automatic ICE starting and stopping routine.

A travel control apparatus includes a processor programmed to detect a state of each of a plurality of power sources constituting a power source system, the power source system supplying power to the autonomous driving system, and set a fail operation mode corresponding to whether the detected state of each of the plurality of power source is a state configured to supply an amount of power necessary for a safety of autonomous driving.
