This paper presents the application of the Lambda control strategy derived from Pontryagin's
Minimum Principle (PMP) for parallel PHEV. The proposed method has shown its efficiency …

For hybrid vehicles, it is difficult to obtain realistic component models and actual interaction
between subsystems without carrying out experiments. INRETS has performed a coupled …

Certain difficulties arise when attempting to model a clutch in a power train transmission due
to its nonlinear behavior. Two different states have to be taken into account—the first being …

A way to improve existing hybrid vehicles is by globally optimizing the design of their
components in relation to their actual use. This paper proposes a global optimal design …

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) would contribute to energy saving and greenhouse effect
reduction if they were to be massively launched on the market. A notable effort has been …
