	Examples of hybrid vehicle controls development

Ways to incorporate advanced combustion concept engines in demonstration hybrid (hydraulic, electric, fuel-cell) vehicles was researched by engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI).

Approach

Full authority engine and hybrid vehicle control

Challenges

Never-static, high I/O count
Control strategy continually evolving
Rapid hardware and software implementation required

Tools Used

Rugged Rapid Prototyping Electronic Control System (RPECS™)
Touch-screen graphic user interface (GUI) displays key engine and vehicle data
