Novel optimal control algorithms with application to the parallel hydraulic hybrid vehicle power train.
The parallel Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle (HHV) power train is quickly becoming a viable option among large (class 7-10) vehicles. This is due to its potentially vast improvements in fuel economy over non-hybrid power trains. Optimal control of the parallel HHV power train is critical to overall …
