The amount of negative torque is arranged to increase with increasing steering angle beyond the predetermined steering angle.

Controlling a driving torque of a driveline assembly of a motor vehicle comprises: monitoring a speed of a first drive axle; monitoring a speed of a second drive axle; determining a target speed for the electric machine from at least one of the speeds of the first and the second drive axle controlling the electric machine in target speed mode as a function of the at least one speed; determining a target torque from the speed of the first drive axle and the speed of the second drive axle; controlling the clutch in a target torque mode as a function of the speed of the first drive axle and the speed of the second drive axle.

A controller for a motor vehicle powertrain, the controller being configured to control the amount of torque generated by each of a plurality of drive torque sources, each drive torque source being coupled via a respective torque transfer arrangement to a respective group of one or more wheels, the controller being configured to cause a first of the drive torque sources, during acceleration, deceleration and substantially constant speed operation, substantially continually to apply a drive torque to a first group of one or more wheels to which the first drive torque source is coupled acting in a first direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and causes a second of the drive torque sources, during acceleration, deceleration and substantially constant speed operation, substantially continually to apply a drive torque to a second group of one or more wheels to which the second drive torque source is coupled, the direction of drive torque applied to the second group being in a second direction opposite the first such that a net drive torque applied to the first and second group in combination corresponds substantially to a predetermined drive torque demand value, the predetermined torque demand value being determined at least in part by reference to a torque demand signal received by the controller.

A vehicle control apparatus is mounted on a vehicle, which includes an engine and a motor configured to start the engine. The vehicle control apparatus is provided with: a first controller programmed to perform a departure prevention control, which is to prevent the vehicle from departing from a driving lane, when the vehicle is about to depart from the driving lane; and a second controller programmed to perform an automatic stop control, which is to automatically stop the engine on condition that a predetermined stop condition is satisfied, and which is to operate the motor and to restart the engine on condition that a predetermined start condition is satisfied after the engine is automatically stopped. The first controller is programmed to prohibit a start of an automatic stop of the engine by the automatic stop control, when the vehicle is about to depart from the driving lane.

A control system for a vehicle having a first wheel (101) arranged to be driven by a first drive source and a second wheel (101) arranged to be driven by a second drive source, wherein the first wheel and the second wheel are transversely located on the vehicle, the control system comprising a controller (102) and a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device is arranged to monitor the power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel by the first drive source and the power being applied to the second wheel by the second drive source, wherein upon a determination that the power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel and the second wheel is greater than a predetermined value, the controller is arranged to reduce the power differential.

Technologies and techniques for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle for providing a shoulder function. Under a first condition, a motor vehicle is detected on a shoulder of a roadway via at least one detecting apparatus in accordance with at least one predetermined first criterion. Under a second condition, a steering behavior of a driver of the motor vehicle is determined in accordance with a second criterion, where a shoulder function is executed in accordance with which an automatic driving intervention. Under a third condition, an obstacle ahead of the motor vehicle in the direction of travel is detected by the at least one detecting apparatus in accordance with a specified third criterion, where a control signal influencing the execution of the shoulder function is output.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a deviation detector and a motor controller. The deviation detector is configured to detect a deviation of a host vehicle from a travel lane. Upon the deviation detector detecting the deviation, the motor controller is configured to increase and decrease torque of a driving motor that transfers a driving force to a wheel.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a driveline of a hybrid vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, and a transmission are described. In one example, regenerative torque and torque of an electronically controlled differential clutch are adjusted to increase utilization of a vehicle's kinetic energy.

A monitor unit of a vehicle acquires an object left-right difference parameter corresponding to a command left-right difference parameter or corresponding to a measurement left-right difference parameter. The monitor unit compares the object left-right difference parameter and a first left-right difference threshold. If the object left-right difference parameter exceeds a first left-right difference threshold, the monitor unit limits the motive power of a first rotary electric machine and a second rotary electric machine.
