A method is provided for controlling power in a hybrid electric vehicle. The method may include receiving sensor input data in a computer-implemented artificial intelligence neural network operatively associated with the vehicle. The sensor input data may be generated in response to a travel condition or an operating state associated with the vehicle. The method may also include generating condition-based awareness signals with the artificial intelligence neural network; processing the condition-based awareness signals with control algorithms; and adjusting a power-related operating state of the vehicle in response to the processing performed by the control algorithm.

AI-controlled multi-channel power divider / combiner for a power-split series electric hybrid heavy vehicle

Controlled clutchless shifting of multi-ratio geared electronic shift transmissions coupled directly to the electrical prime mover of a vehicle are disclosed. The adaptive control of electrically shifted manual transmissions incorporated into power-split series electric hybrid heavy vehicles operating over heavy duty drive cycles utilizes a direct coupling assembly that enables bi-directional energy transfer and power transport. An electronic shift transmission provides power amplifying or de-amplifying bi-directional intelligently controlled valve or pathway for available terrain potential or kinetic energy of a rolling mass of a vehicle, while retaining the original function of a transmission by increasing or decreasing mechanical rotating energy of the propulsion power to the rear wheels of a vehicle.
