Control system and method for a hybrid electric vehicle

Patent Phillips, Anthony Mark [Northville, MI]; Blankenship, John Richard [Dearborn, MI]; Bailey, Kathleen Ellen [Dearborn, MI]; ...

A vehicle system controller (20) is presented for a LSR parallel hybrid electric vehicle having an engine (10), a motor (12), wheels (14), a transmission (16) and a battery (18). The vehicle system controller (20) has a state machine having a plurality of predefined states (22-32) that represent operating modes for the vehicle. A set of rules is defined for controlling the transition between any two states in the state machine. The states (22-32) are prioritized according to driver demands, energy management concerns and system fault occurrences. The vehicle system controller (20) controls the transitions from a lower priority statemore » « less

High voltage bus and auxiliary heater control system for an electric or hybrid vehicle

Patent Murty, Balarama Vempaty [West Bloomfield, MI]

A control system for an electric or hybrid electric vehicle includes a vehicle system controller and a control circuit having an electric immersion heater. The heater is electrically connected to the vehicle's high voltage bus and is thermally coupled to a coolant loop containing a heater core for the vehicle's climate control system. The system controller responds to cabin heat requests from the climate control system by generating a pulse width modulated signal that is used by the control circuit to operate the heater at a duty cycle appropriate for the amount of cabin heating requested. The control system alsomore » « less
