The disclosure relates to a method for recognizing roughness of a road on which a vehicle is traveling, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for recognizing roughness of a road on which a vehicle is traveling includes the steps of: A. obtaining a traveling speed of the vehicle on a current road; B. determining whether the obtained traveling speed is not greater than a preset threshold, and if the obtained traveling speed is not greater than the preset threshold, obtaining operating data of the vehicle at a preset time interval; and C. determining the roughness of the current road of the vehicle based on a change feature of the obtained operating data. Through application of the disclosure, roughness of a road on which a vehicle is traveling can be quickly, accurately, and efficiently detected, different road conditions such as uphill, downhill, and various obstacles that can or cannot be crossed over can be recognized, thereby improving the low-speed control capability of the vehicle and enhancing the safety performance of the vehicle.

A military vehicle including an engine coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle, a motor/generator coupled to the engine, and an energy storage system including a battery electrically coupled to the motor/generator. The military vehicle is operable in a silent mobility mode with the engine inactive and the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the military vehicle. The motor/generator and the battery are sized such that electrical power generation through engine drive of the motor/generator is greater than the power depletion through operation of the military vehicle in the silent mobility mode. The motor/generator can charge the energy storage system while the military vehicle is driving or stationary.

A control system for a vehicle that executes a feedback control properly to adjust a speed of a predetermined rotary member to a target speed. A controller is configured to: calculate an amount of change in a torque applied to the rotary member by one of the torque devices, in accordance with operating conditions of the torque devices; and calculate an amount of change in the torque applied to the rotary member by another one of the torque devices, based on a target amount of change in a synthesized torque of the torques of the torque devices and the amount of change in the torque applied to the rotary member by one of the torque devices.

Dynamic braking capability of a combination vehicle including a tractor and at least one trailer is provided based on a distribution of the load carried by the combination vehicle. Load distribution is determined directly using load sensors disposed at wheel pairs of the tractor and trailer(s) or indirectly by using a load sensor located at the drive axle of the tractor together with engine torque and vehicle speed signals for determining gross vehicle mass. A database having sub-databases therein each storing stopping distance calculation results for a corresponding combination vehicle type e.g. 5-axle single or 8-axle double, is indexed by using the determined load distributions for providing the dynamic braking capability based on the vehicle type and its load distribution. The database may also be indexed using Axle Load Allocation Factor that is calculated based on a mathematical combination of drive, steering, and gross trailer axle loading.

A military vehicle includes a chassis, a front end accessory drive (FEAD), and circuitry. The chassis includes an engine and an integrated motor generator (IMG). The FEAD includes multiple accessories and an electric motor-generator. The circuitry is configured to operate the military vehicle according to different modes. The circuitry is configured to receive a user input indicating a selected mode of the modes, and operate the chassis and the FEAD of the military vehicle according to the selected mode. The modes include an engine mode and an electric mode. In the engine mode, the engine drives the FEAD and the tractive elements of the military vehicle through the IMG for transportation. In the electric mode, the engine is shut off to reduce a sound output of the military vehicle and the IMG drives the tractive elements of the military vehicle for transportation and the electric motor-generator drives the FEAD.

The present disclosure relates to a method for computing a vehicle mass, a terminal device and a storage medium. The method includes: collecting engine torque data and electronic horizon data; determining whether two sampling points whose gradient value difference is greater than a gradient value difference threshold exist; determining whether the two sampling points are on a same road; determining whether the road between the two sampling points is a straight road; determining whether a difference between engine torques is greater than a torque difference threshold; calculating the vehicle mass according to the engine torques and gradient values corresponding to the two sampling points.

A controller for a vehicle includes a controlling unit. In a case in which the target engine torque is less than or equal to a threshold, the controlling unit controls the engine such that the torque of the engine becomes equal to the target engine torque, and controls a motor-generator such that the torque of the motor-generator becomes equal to the target motor torque. Also, in a case in which the target engine torque is greater than the threshold, the controlling unit controls the engine such that the torque of the engine becomes less than or equal to the threshold, and controls the motor-generator such that the torque of the motor-generator increases.

A hybrid vehicle of the disclosure includes an engine, a motor that outputs a torque to a driving system, a hydraulic clutch that connects the engine with the motor and disconnects the engine from the motor, and a control device that performs slip control of the hydraulic clutch in response to satisfaction of a start condition of the engine and controls the motor to output at least a cranking torque to the engine. The control device sets a target value of a rotation speed difference between the engine and the motor during execution of the slip control, and increases at least one of a hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic clutch, an output torque of the motor and an output torque of the engine when a difference between the rotation speed difference and the target value is out of an allowable range. This configuration ensures good startability of the engine.

A vehicle drive device includes a first drive unit that drives first wheels; a second drive unit that drives second wheels; and a control device. When the state of charge of an electrical storage device is less than a first threshold value and a vehicle speed is less than a second threshold value, the control device performs control such that when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to zero and required drive power is greater than or equal to zero, the operating mode of the first drive unit is set to a second mode to output the required drive power from the second drive unit, and when the vehicle speed is greater than zero and the required drive power is less than zero, the operating mode of the first drive unit is set to a first mode so the first drive power source can generate electric power.

A control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to reduce electricity consumption by a motor in a condition where a maximum output torque of an engine is restricted. A controller is configured to: calculate a current maximum torque of the engine when increasing a speed of the engine to achieve an acceleration demand; determine whether the current maximum torque of the engine is less than an inertia torque required to increase the speed of the engine; and adjust the reaction torque of the first motor to a value less than a predetermined value, if the current maximum torque of the engine is less than the inertia torque required to increase the speed of the engine.
