TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a model predictive controller and a dynamic programming algorithm for a through-the-road-parallel hybrid electric vehicle, including a simplified battery ageing model in their formulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of thermal management of catalysts, which aims to significantly reduce the light-off time and emission concentrations through appropriate heating methods, such as burners, reformers and electrically heated catalysts.

TL;DR: Assessment of the performance of alternative objective functions for the optimal wheel torque distribution of a four-wheel-drive (4WD) fully electric vehicle shows that objective functions based on the minimum tire slip criterion provide better control performance than functionsbased on energy efficiency.

TL;DR: A comparison between different torque-vectoring control structures for the yaw moment control of FEVs shows that the PID-based controllers achieve very good vehicle performance in steady-state and transient conditions, whereas the controllers based on the sliding-mode approach demonstrate a high level of robustness against variations in the vehicle parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a direct yaw moment controller based on the combination of feedforward and feedback contributions for continuous yaw rate control, which can continuously modify the vehicle understeer characteristic in quasi-static conditions and increase yaw and sideslip damping during transients.
