The Smart and Green ACC (SAGA) or simply Green ACC (GACC) may be defined as a system which autonomously generates longitudinal control commands for a vehicle while balancing the safety and efficiency factors. In previous studies, the SAGA function is investigated as applied to a battery electric vehicle. As a continuation of the SAGA function development, this paper investigates the behavior of the autonomous longitudinal controller as applied to a “Through the Road” (TtR) hybrid electric vehicle. Given the presence of two power sources, the implementation of a SAGA system in HEV/PHEV has a higher level of complexity as compared to pure EV. As an autonomous longitudinal driver command generating system, SAGA acts as a surficial controller which is then combined with a core powertrain management system. The Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) is used to determine the optimum power split between the IC engine and electric motor.
