More Information
Summary:A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle includes the following steps: (a) monitoring, via a controller, a magnitude and direction of a lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, and longitudinal deceleration of the hybrid vehicle; (b) determining, via the controller, vehicle operating conditions in which a hybrid powertrain is allowed to operate in a regenerative state based, at least in part, on the magnitude and direction of the lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, and longitudinal deceleration of the hybrid vehicle; and (c) commanding, via the controller, the hybrid powertrain to operate in the regenerative state when the hybrid vehicle is operating in the determined vehicle operating conditions. The vehicle operating conditions depend, at least in part, on operator commands and the current SOC of the energy storage system.
