Abstract:
A Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) apparatus and method for controlling the elements of a Hybrid Electric Drive Powered Vehicle are disclosed, wherein the VCU uses Current and Historical Route Data to determine Instantaneous Power required by each of the elements, and wherein the VCU controls the Instantaneous Power used by each of the elements to minimize an amount of hydrocarbon fuel used while the vehicle is being driven, while also maintaining an acceptable battery state of charge and providing vehicle drive power as needed.
