Abstract
A method that calculates a setpoint for managing the fuel and electricity consumption of a hybrid motor vehicle includes: a) acquiring, by a navigation system on board the hybrid motor vehicle, a route to be traveled; b) dividing the route into consecutive portions; c) assigning attributes that characterize each portion; d) determining, for each of the portions, a curve or a map that links each fuel consumption value of the hybrid motor vehicle over the portion to a charge or discharge value of the traction battery; e) determining an optimal point of each curve or map, which makes it possible to minimize the fuel consumption of the hybrid motor vehicle over the entire route and to completely discharge the traction battery by the end of the route; and f) producing an energy management setpoint in accordance with the coordinates of the optimal points.

14. A calculation method for calculating a setpoint for managing fuel and electricity consumption of a hybrid motor vehicle comprising at least one electric motor supplied with electricity by a traction battery, and an internal combustion engine supplied with fuel, the calculation method comprising:
-
a) acquiring, by a navigation system, a journey to be made; b) dividing said journey into successive sections; c) acquiring, for each section, attributes characterizing said section; d) selecting, for each of said sections and taking into account the attributes, from among a plurality of predetermined relationships linking fuel consumption values to electrical energy consumption values, a relationship linking the fuel consumption of the hybrid motor vehicle over the section to the electrical energy consumption; e) determining an optimal point of consumption in each of the selected relationships such that the set of optimal points minimize the fuel consumption of the hybrid motor vehicle over the entire journey and maximize the discharge of the traction battery at an end of said journey; and f) developing an energy management setpoint throughout the journey, according to coordinates of said optimal points. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
