Control architecture for optimization and control of a hybrid powertrain system
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a powertrain comprising an internal combustion engine and first and second electrical machines and an electro-mechanical transmission selectively operative in one of a plurality of operating range states to transmit torque therebetween, the method comprising the following steps in the sequence set forth:
- first, selecting a preferred operating range state;
then,selectively executing a transmission gear shift and an engine start/stop operation to achieve the preferred operating range state;
then,determining an input torque from the internal combustion engine and an actual operating range state; and
, then,determining commanded motor torques for the first and second electrical machines.

Abstract
There is provided a control system for a powertrain system including an electro-mechanical transmission that is selectively operative in a plurality of fixed gear modes and continuously variable modes. The control system is adapted to execute the following steps in the sequence set forth as follows. A preferred operating range state is selected. A shift and an engine start/stop operation are selectively executed to achieve the preferred operating range state. A commanded input torque from the internal combustion engine is determined. Commanded output torques of the first and second electrical machines are determined.
