The efficiency improvement of parallel hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is strongly dependent on how the supervisory control of a vehicle determines the power split between the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the electric motor of the vehicle. This paper presents a classification of current supervisory control techniques with distinction between dynamic and static control methods; a description of the simulation software ADvanced Vehicle SimulatOR (ADVISOR) with Matlab Simulink for simulation of a rule-based control strategy, and proposed optimization methods
