ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a hybrid propulsion system of a vehicle, the hybrid propulsion system including an internal combustion engine and an alternate powertrain torque source capable of propelling the vehicle while the engine is turned off, the method comprising of detecting congestion by receiving and analyzing data that is external to the vehicle, and controlling a transition of the hybrid propulsion system between a first propulsion mode and a second propulsion mode based on said detecting of congestion.
