Summary:

The complexity of designing and implementing a vehicleelectrical control system for ultra fuel-efficient hybrid vehiclesis significantly greater than that of a conventional vehicle. Toquickly demonstrate and iterate capabilities of these vehicles, anefficient and rapid means for developing requirements, mappingthese into an electrical control and communications architecture,and developing prototype systems is needed.The General Motors Precept concept vehicle is an example of anenergy- efficient vehicular control system developed using a"requirements to software'' development process andelectronic controller infrastructure that demonstrates theseattributes. The Precept is General Motors Corporation'stechnology demonstration concept vehicle developed to addressGeneral Motors Corporation's commitment to the Partnership fora New Generation (PNGV) program.This paper describes the goals, process, and implementation ofthe electronic controls used in the development of this ultrafuel-efficient hybrid electric vehicle. The process incorporatesvehicle worthy prototyping components, and tools that are flexibleenough to accommodate evolutionary development of controlalgorithms
