METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF A HYBRID AUTOMOTIVE AND VEHICLE ADAPTED TO SUCH A METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for controlling operation of a hybrid automotive vehicle equipped with at least an internal combustion engine and an electric machine, each adapted to deliver torque to a driveline of the vehicle, comprising:
- a) determining a first ability of the engine to deliver torque to an output shaft and allotment of a value to a first parameter based on the first determination,b) determining a second ability of the electric machine to deliver torque to its output shaft and allotment of a value to a second parameter based on the second determination,d) computing a value of a global parameter, on the basis of the respective values of the first and second parameters, ande) generating an electric or an electronic signal representative of the value of the global parameter.

Abstract
A method is provided for controlling operation of a hybrid automotive vehicle equipped with at least an internal combustion engine and an electric machine, each adapted to deliver torque to a driveline of the vehicle. This method includes at least the following steps: a) determination of the ability of the engine to deliver torque to an output shaft and allotment of a value to a first parameter on the basis of this determination, b) determination of the ability of the electric machine to deliver torque to its output shaft and allotment of a value to a second parameter on the basis of this determination, d) computation of a value of a global parameter, on the basis of the respective values of the first and second parameters, and e) generation of an electric or electronic signal representative of the value of the global parameter. The hybrid automotive vehicle of the invention includes means to generate an electronic signal depending on the ability of the engine and/or the electric machine to move the vehicle.
