Zusammenfassung:A system may include a computer to obtain orientation information of a determined travel route for a vehicle system that includes a first power source and a second power source. The computer may determine one or more energy requirements of a hybrid propulsion system based on the orientation information. The computer may generate a trip plan to control a performance parameter(s) of a hybrid propulsion system and control a stable low temperature combustion. The computer may select at least one of the first power source or the second power source to deliver the one or more energy requirements. A method may include obtaining the orientation information, determining the one or more energy requirements, generating the trip plan, and selecting at least one of the first power source or the second power source. A vehicle system may include a hybrid power source, an electric motor(s), and a computer.
