Abstract:
A hybrid electric vehicle includes an intelligent vehicle controller, an electric motor, a battery, an internal combustion engine (ICE), and an electrical generator coupled to the ICE configured to provide electricity to the battery and the electric motor. The intelligent vehicle controller receives ICE power level shifting data from the electrical generator, ICE, battery, and electric motor. The intelligent vehicle controller determines a desirable torque and/or a desirable revolutions per minute (RPM) for the ICE based on the received ICE power level shifting data by utilizing an efficiency map that includes fuel efficiency contours and noise, vibration, and/or harshness (NVH) level lines for the hybrid electric vehicle. The intelligent vehicle controller may have first and second vehicle operation modes, and may derive first and a second desirable power levels for the ICE in the first and second operation modes, based on the ICE power level shifting data.

Claim (Index 1):
A hybrid electric vehicle comprising:\n an intelligent vehicle controller; an electric motor; a battery; an internal combustion engine (ICE) coupled to an electrical generator, the electrical generator configured to provide electricity to the battery and the electric motor; the intelligent vehicle controller configured to: receive ICE power level shifting data from at least one of the electrical generator, battery, electric motor and ICE; determine a desired torque and a desired revolutions per minute (RPM) for the ICE based on the received ICE power level shifting data by utilizing an efficiency map, the efficiency map including fuel efficiency contours and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) level lines for the hybrid electric vehicle for a plurality of predetermined vehicle operating points, wherein the ICE assigns a first weighting factor to the fuel efficiency contours and a second weighting factor to NVH level lines to determine desired torque and desired RPM; and generate a control signal to run the ICE at the desired torque and desired RPM according to the plurality of predetermined vehicle operating points of the efficiency map.
