A method for populating a controller for a motor vehicle with data includes providing a controller with a storage device, and generating a projected mathematical model of at least one section of a powertrain, including a transmission. The projected mathematical model describes the section of the powertrain with a gear ratio of 1 and is applicable to different transmissions. The projected mathematical model is stored in the storage device of the controller. A motor vehicle is also provided and operated accordingly.

A method for controlling deceleration of a vehicle includes determining, by a controller, a reference deceleration driving distance of the vehicle based on current speed information of the vehicle and stop signal residual time information of a traffic light located ahead of the vehicle, determining, by the controller, whether the reference deceleration driving distance is less than or equal to a distance between the vehicle and the traffic light, and determining, by the controller, a speed profile including an actual deceleration driving distance of the vehicle based on a waiting distance of a waiting vehicle that waits before the traffic light when it is determined that the reference deceleration driving distance is less than or equal to the distance between the vehicle and the traffic light.

A remote parking control system and a fail-safe method thereof may include at least one controller and a remote parking control apparatus that performs braking control according to motor reverse torque control and transmission stage control, when a braking controller among the at least one controller fails, upon remote parking control.

In a hybrid vehicle, when a required driving force is equal to or smaller than a first upper limit driving force, a control device sets a target driving force to the required driving force. When the required driving force is larger than the first upper limit driving force, the control device sets a target compensation power of a power storage device, based on a difference between the required driving force and the first upper limit driving force. The control device sets a second upper limit driving force of a driveshaft when an upper limit power is output from an engine and the power storage device is charged or discharged with a power based on the target compensation power. The control device sets a target driving force to the smaller between the required driving force and the second upper limit driving force. This configuration suppresses deterioration of the driver's drive feeling.

A vehicle includes a powertrain having an electric machine and a controller. The controller is programmed to, responsive to an accelerator pedal position exceeding a first threshold for a predetermined time period or a lateral acceleration of the vehicle being greater than a second threshold, transition the powertrain from a nominal driving mode to a performance driving mode. The controller is also programmed to, responsive to an increase in a steering wheel angle while in the nominal mode, maintain a power output of the electric machine at a driver demanded power defined by the accelerator pedal position. The controller is further programmed to, responsive to an increase in a steering wheel angle while in the performance driving mode, reduce a power output of the electric machine to less than the driver demanded power.

A vehicle control apparatus includes an overlapping-prediction determination portion configured to determine whether or not it is predicted that, during execution of a synchronous control for placing a clutch, which is provided between an engine and an electric motor, into an engaged state, a synchronization-completion time point of the clutch overlaps with an inertia phase period in process of a shift control of a transmission, and a torque limitation portion configured, when the overlapping-prediction determination portion determines that it is predicted that the synchronization-completion time point overlaps with the inertia phase period, to execute a torque limitation by which at least one of a torque capacity of the clutch and an output torque of the engine is made smaller than when the overlapping-prediction determination portion determines that it is not predicted that the synchronization-completion time point overlaps with the inertia phase period.

In a method of controlling an electronic parking brake system to overcome an existing problem occurring in drive away release (DAR) mode, a control unit monitors whether or not a gear change signal is input in a vehicle stopped state, a P position state, or a parking brake applied state. When the gear change signal is input, an accelerator pedal input value of a driver is compared with a predetermined pedal input set value while a gear position of a transmission is maintained in the P position. When the accelerator pedal input value does not exceed the predetermined pedal input set value, a control operation is performed for automatic releasing of a parking brake. When a set time has passed after start of the control operation for the automatic releasing, a control operation of changing the gear position to the D position or the R position is performed.

A method for controlling a start of a mild hybrid vehicle that includes an engine, a starter-generator starting the engine or generating electricity by an output of the engine, a starter starting the engine, and a battery supplying electric power to the starter-generator may include: determining, by a controller configured for controlling an operation of the vehicle, whether a start of the vehicle is requested; checking, by the controller, current limit data of the battery when the start of the vehicle is requested; checking, by the controller, start torque current data of the starter-generator according to state data of the vehicle; comparing, by the controller, the current limit data with the start torque current data; and starting, by the controller, the engine using the starter-generator or the starter according to a result of the comparing, by the controller, the current limit data with the start torque current data.

Sensor data is received from an array of sensors configured to capture one or more objects of an external environment of an autonomous vehicle. A first sensor group is selected from the array of sensors based on vehicle operation data representative of a state of the autonomous vehicle. First sensor data from the first group is prioritized for transmission based on the vehicle operation data.

A hybrid gearbox has a shift gearbox including at least one fixed ratio gear having a gear ratio both for the internal combustion engine and the electric motor-generator with respect to a power train connection, and speed superposition gearbox which is designed to provide a power-split gear having a variable speed ratio and a fixed torque ratio with respect to the internal combustion engine connection and the power train connection, wherein the variable speed ratio is formed by a modulation of a speed provided by the internal combustion engine on a speed provided by the electric motor-generator. The hybrid gearbox has at least one operating mode in which gear changes are only carried out between the fixed-ratio gear and the power-split gear.
