Abstract: An energy management controller based on shortest path stochastic dynamic programming (SPSDP) is implemented and tested in a prototype vehicle. The controller simultaneously optimizes fuel economy and powertrain activity, ...

Abstract: This paper solves the inverse dynamics of a tethered kite analytically. Specifically, the paper presents a procedure for determining the angle of attack, induced roll angle, and tether tension magnitude needed to achieve ...

Abstract: Hybrid vehicle fuel economy and drive quality are coupled through the “energy managementâ€‌ controller that regulates power flow among the various energy sources and sinks. This paper studies energy management controllers ...
