OPTIMAL CONTROL STRATEGY OF TRACKED INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE HYBRID POWERTRAIN

The paper deals with the development of optimal control strategy of tracked infantry fighting vehicles hybrid powertrain functional prototype (model).The conditions and requirements for development of hybrid powertrain (HP) to tracked infantry fighting vehicles (TIFV) are presented, which resulted in the requirements of control strategy. Next the concept, structure and optimization of the control system and control strategy for HP operating conditions of TIFV are presented, which are different from road vehicles. Opportunities for further development, optimization and utilization of the proposed control strategy are presented in the conclusion.
