Hybrid electric vehicle and method for compensating motor torque thereof

A hybrid electric vehicle and a method for compensating a motor torque thereof, may include a hybrid control unit (HCU) including a processor and a non-transitory storage medium containing instructions executed by the processor. The processor is configured to start motor torque intervention upon entering a predetermined shift phase during shifting, to determine a motor torque compensation amount by reflecting engine torque according to engine torque reduction control, and to perform motor torque compensation control based on the motor torque compensation amount.

DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
20220348077 · 2022-11-03 · ·

A drive control device is applicable to a vehicle including a first motor which drives a first wheel and a second motor which drives a second wheel. The drive control device includes a sensor, a torque setting section, an anomaly detection section, and an information output section. The sensor detects information about the drive control device. The torque setting section sets upper limit values of torques that can be generated by the first motor and the second motor based on the information detected by the sensor. The anomaly detection section detects an anomaly in the drive control device. In response to the anomaly detection section detecting the anomaly, the information output section outputs, to the torque setting section, setting information that sets the upper limit values of the torques of the first motor and the second motor to a common predetermined value, as the information.

A vehicle control system includes a controller configured to determine whether a vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode or in a manual driving mode; and a steering device for adjusting a position of a wheel of the vehicle when the vehicle is operating in the manual driving mode. The steering device includes a knob configured to rotate about a rotation axis; a shaft connected to the knob, the shaft rotating about the rotation axis together with the knob by a rotational force transmitted from the knob; and an elastic part coupled to the shaft. In particular, when the shaft rotates from a reference position by the rotational force, the elastic part is compressed, and when the rotational force is removed, the elastic part is relaxed to return the shaft to the reference position.
