Claim:
1. A method, comprising: controlling a power source output power of a vehicle using a controller, wherein the vehicle has a drive train and a power source, and wherein the controller controls the power source and the drive train; determining a target drive train output power using the controller, wherein the target drive train output power is determined using a command input; determining the power source output power using the controller, wherein the target drive train output power is derived from the power source output power; and wherein the controller determines the power source output power using one or more loss parameters and the target drive train output power; wherein the loss parameters include a kinetic power loss, and wherein the kinetic power loss is calculated as a function of rotational inertia loss parameters within the drive train.
