Hybrid electric vehicle and method of path dependent receding horizon control
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a controller configured to segment an original route into segments with each segment having a characteristic different than neighboring segments, generate a virtual route based on the remaining portion of the original route once a vehicle reaches a current segment of the original route, wherein the virtual route includes a first segment corresponding to the current segment and a virtual segment representing at least two other segments of the remaining portion of the original route, wherein the characteristic of the virtual segment is an average of the characteristics of the at least two other segments of the remaining portion of the original route;
the controller further configured to generate battery state-of-charge (SoC) set-points for the segments of the virtual route based on each of the characteristics of each of the segments of the virtual route including the first segment and the virtual segment and control the vehicle according to the battery SoC set-point for the first segment of the virtual route as the vehicle travels along the current segment.

Abstract
A path-dependent control of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes segmenting an original route into segments. A virtual route based on the remaining portion of the original route is generated once the HEV reaches a current segment of the original route. The virtual route includes a first segment corresponding to the current segment of the original route and a last segment representing at least two other segments of the remaining portion of the original route. Battery SoC set-points for the segments of the virtual route are generated. The vehicle is controlled according to the battery SoC set-point for the first segment of the virtual route as the vehicle travels along the current segment of the original route.
