A propulsion torque distribution system for a vehicle includes a controller in electronic communication with a plurality of vehicle systems. The controller executes instructions to receive at least one or more computational faults, one or more sensor faults, and a driver torque request. In response to receiving at least one of the one or more computational faults and the one or more sensor faults, the controller determines a fault that affects calculation of a primary torque request has occurred. In response to determining the fault that affects calculation of the primary torque request has occurred, the controller determines a severity of the fault. The controller determines a remedial state based on the severity of the fault. The remedial state indicates a corresponding action that is executed by the propulsion torque distribution system.

An embodiment method of controlling traveling of an electrified vehicle equipped with an electric motor as a power source includes determining whether it is possible to enter a variable control function. The variable control function includes a function of variably controlling a coasting torque level using a regenerative braking force. In response to a determination that it is not possible to enter the variable control function, a cause of an inability to enter the variable control function is determined and control is performed in a manner that corresponds to a determination that it is possible to enter the variable control function or the determination of the cause of the inability to enter the variable control function in response to the determination that it is not possible to enter the variable control function.

An apparatus includes a control apparatus for an electric vehicle. The control apparatus outputs an instruction to reduce the first regenerative braking force according to the physical amount regarding the stroke of the brake pedal to the electric motor. The control apparatus also outputs an instruction to add a braking force corresponding to a third regenerative braking force, which is a regenerative braking force corresponding to an amount of the reduction in the first regenerative braking force, to the brake actuation braking force when the signal regarding the pressing of the brake pedal is input after the signal regarding the return of the pressed accelerator pedal is input.

A braking system that uses a combination of a friction brake force and a traction motor brake force to slow or stop the rotation of the wheel. A friction brake may provide the friction brake force. A traction motor may provide the traction motor brake force. The braking system may include sensors that provide data for determining a wheel lock threshold for each wheel. The friction brake force and the traction motor brake force may be adjusted for each wheel to provide an applied brake force to the wheel that is less than or equal to the wheel lock threshold.

This disclosure relates to an electrified vehicle configured to selectively deactivate a restricted power mode based on an acceleration request, such as an imminent or current acceleration request. A corresponding method is also disclosed. An example electrified vehicle includes a battery and a controller configured to apply a restricted power mode when a state of health of the battery is below a predefined lower threshold. Further, when in the restricted power mode, the controller is configured to limit an amount of power drawn from the battery. Additionally, the controller is configured to selectively deactivate the restricted power mode in response to a signal indicating a current or imminent request for acceleration of the electrified vehicle requiring power to be drawn from the battery above an upper limit of the restricted power mode.

A control device for a vehicle is provided, which includes a power source that generates torque for driving or braking the vehicle, an accelerator pedal sensor that detects an operating amount of an accelerator pedal, and a control unit that controls the power source. The control unit sets a target acceleration based on the accelerator pedal operating amount detected by the accelerator pedal sensor. The control unit sets a target jerk based on the target acceleration, and when the target acceleration decreases toward 0 from a value above 0, sets the target jerk so that an absolute value of the target jerk becomes smaller as the target acceleration approaches 0. The control unit sets torque to be outputted or regenerated by the power source, based on the target acceleration and the target jerk.

A vehicle includes a regenerative brake of a rotating electric machine and a friction brake which is a mechanical brake as braking means for applying a braking force to rotations of the left and right wheels at the front and rear of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes an SOC information obtaining part that obtains an amount of charge (SOC) of a battery of the vehicle and an ECU. The ECU may include a VSA modulator and an ACC-ECU that generate, without a braking operation of the driver, a regenerative braking force with the regenerative brake and a friction braking force with the friction brake. The ECU prohibits an operation of the VSA modulator and/or an operation of the ACC-ECU according to a temperature of the friction brake and the amount of charge (SOC) of the battery.
