The invention relates to a method for determining a characteristic curve of a hybrid separating clutch of a hybrid vehicle without a test stand, wherein the hybrid separating clutch separates or connects an internal combustion engine and an electric motor and the hybrid separating clutch is slowly actuated on the basis of a position which the hybrid separating clutch assumes in an unactuated state, and a clutch characteristic curve is determined as a function of a clutch torque over a path of the hybrid separating clutch. In a method by which a characteristic curve of the hybrid separating clutch can be reliably defined without a test stand, a clutch torque which underlies the characteristic curve of the hybrid separating clutch is determined from the torque of the internal combustion engine in the case of a running internal combustion engine and a motion state of the electric motor which brakes the internal combustion engine while the hybrid separating clutch is moving.

When there is an abnormality in communications between a motor ECU and an HVECU in an automobile, the motor ECU controls a motor such that creep torque or a given torque larger than the creep torque is delivered from the motor. Thus, when there is an abnormality in communications between the HVECU and the motor ECU, the automobile is able to run in a limp home mode.

A slip control method and arrangement for a drivetrain including a continuously variable transmission, forward-reverse clutch arrangement and an optional three-speed gearbox is described herein. The forward-reverse clutch arrangement includes a clutch that is so controlled as to slip when a torque higher than the usable torque attempts to pass through. Accordingly, the clutch prevents the prime mover from stalling.

A control device of a powertrain system executes a control input determination processing and a system control processing. The control input determination processing includes a co-state variable determination processing to update a co-state variable p of an optimization problem for each time step and a control input calculation processing. The co-state variable determination processing includes an initial value determination processing that determines, as an initial value of the co-state variable p, the sum of a base value of the initial value and an external charge/discharge correction value. The base value is a final value or an average value of the co-state variable p during the last control time period. The external charge/discharge correction value is determined based on an external charge/discharge amount obtained by subtracting a SOC at the end of the last control time period from the SOC at the start of the current control time period.

At least some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods of online power management for hybrid powertrains. In some embodiments, the hybrid powertrain control system is configured to conduct a brake-thermal-efficiency (BTE) estimation procedure when the powertrain is in operation by operating the hybrid powertrain at a plurality of speeds for a plurality of designated power levels and select certain BTE operating conditions to update the power management.

A multi-layer path-planning system and method calculates trajectories for autonomous vehicles using a global planner, a fast local planner, and an optimizing local planner. The calculated trajectories are used to guide the autonomous vehicle along a bounded path between a starting point and a destination.

The present invention relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle slip regulation method and apparatus, an electronic device and a medium. The vehicle slip regulation method comprises the following steps: determining a pavement type of a vehicle driving pavement in response to a vehicle acceleration slip regulation event; determining an overall target acceleration of a vehicle according to the determined pavement type, the speed of a non-driving wheel and the slip time of a driving wheel; and performing vehicle slip regulation according to the overall target acceleration. The method does not need to determine wheel adhesion coefficient of a vehicle according to coefficients such as vehicle weight and road slope, can perform slip regulation by calculating overall target accelerations under different pavements, and has strong practicability and robustness and good acceleration slip regulation effect.

An energy storage system for a military vehicle includes a lower support, a battery supported on the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupled between the bracket and a wall. The upper isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the wall.

A control method and system for a hybrid power system, and an electric vehicle. The method includes: step S1, a control unit acquiring a real-time vehicle mode signal, vehicle speed data, and actual torque data of an engine; step S2, the control unit determining whether a power system of a vehicle is in a parallel mode, if the power system of the vehicle is in the parallel mode, the control unit sending a torque compensation signal to a drive electric motor; and step S3, the control unit determining positive and negative attributes of the torque compensation signal adjusting a compensation torque output value of the drive electric motor in real time. By means of the control method, gears connecting a drive electric motor to an engine can be prevented from generating tooth knocking noise, thereby greatly alleviating NVH during the driving of a vehicle.

Automated launch torque is provided. An automated virtual launch torque generation (AVL-TG) system may be included in a vehicle, such as a heavy duty truck, that may interoperate with an adaptive cruise control (CC) system to move the vehicle from a standstill or low speed to a CC handover speed. The AVL-TG system may determine a tip-in torque curve configured to mimic a torque curve generated by a human operator's acceleration pedal tip-in from a standstill or low speed. The tip-in torque curve may be represented by torque demand values corresponding to a dynamic pedal saturation level applied over a dynamic pedal rate. The torque demand values determined by the AVL-TG system may mimic an expected or human vehicle operator generated torque request, and may operate to successfully close the clutch and smoothly launch the vehicle from a standstill or low speed.
