Coordinated control of mode transition is an important part of the multi-mode hybrid vehicles' control strategy, combined with a vehicle torque distribution strategy to realize an optimal working condition of the power sources, as well as achieve smooth mode switching. This paper builds hybrid electric vehicle driveline dynamics model and depth analyzes drive mode transition process, coordinated control methods were provided to solve three types of mode switching, neural network algorithm was provided to estimate the engine torque. The results show that coordinated control can reduce torque fluctuations and decrease jerk during the transition of different modes to improve the vehicle drivability.

The traditional energy management algorithm is mainly based on a single driving cycle, it is obvious that many factors might be often neglected by designer, such as different driving cycles would suit for different control strategies. But they tend to make decisions on the balance of torque distribution and battery power that based on a single driving cycle. Therefore, it is very difficult to achieve the optimal control in each case. In this paper we introduce a new design concept of Multi-operating mode energy management, a mathematical model of the energy management applied to a hybrid vehicle system is presented. Results of simulations using the model with the Multi-operating mode energy management were compared with results of simulations using a model with the single mode energy management, allowing the energy efficiency evaluation of the proposed energy management system.
