- Achieving the most energy-efficient torque distribution for vehicles with multiple drivetrains requires solving a parametric non-convex constrained optimisation problem. This can be done online using current parameter values or offline using parametric optimisation tools to generate lookup tables. This paper is the first to formulate and solve this problem for on-road and off-road vehicles. This is significant because it removes the requirement for the power-loss curves to be monotonically increasing and convex. The strategy can be applied to any type of drivetrains and for non-convex power-loss curves (at low torque demands).
