Integration of On-Line Control in Optimal Design of Multimode Power-Split Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrains

The multimode power-split architecture for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrains is generally known for the complexity of its operation. This paper first addresses the challenge of developing an automated on-line near-optimal control strategy for these systems. Particularly, a machine learning logic based on supervised learning is developed for on-line selection of the HEV operating mode, thus the particular set of clutches to be engaged. …
