An embodiment system for mild hybrid starter and generator (MHSG) failure diagnosis of a mild hybrid vehicle includes a data detection part configured to detect data for determining whether to activate a catalyst, and a controller configured to determine whether there is an MHSG failure using a deviation between a required torque and an actual operating torque of an MHSG after determining whether catalyst activation is needed and whether to start a stage of the MHSG failure diagnosis based on the data detected by the data detection part.

The embodiments disclose a method including separating kinetic speed from energy using a transmission platform, directing energy in the kinetic form at a predetermined speed from 0 to 100%, employing the transmission platform with fewer pieces to increase overall efficiency at a lower cost to produce, and integrating the transmission platform with combustion engines and electric motors to achieve more efficiency and greater performance.

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

A control system for a vehicle includes an engine controller operable to determine a requested engine torque in response to a cruise control set command and a cruise control offset value, determine an engine torque command in response to the requested engine torque and a torque limit, and control operation of an engine in response to the engine torque command. The control system also includes a platooning controller operable to determine and provide to the engine controller the cruise control set command, the cruise control offset value and the torque limit effective to cause the engine controller to control the engine to provide a desired following distance between the vehicle and a second vehicle.

A turbo lag boost compensation method is provided, including: calculate a theoretically required boost torque Ts; compare the theoretically required boost torque Ts with the maximum output torque Tpmax of a P2 motor; when Ts≥Tpmax, a required output boost torque Ts′ is equal to Tpmax; when Ts<Tpmax, the required output boost torque Ts′ is equal to Ts; determine whether a turbo lag boost timing is activated; if yes, output the required output boost torque Ts′; and if not, the boost torque is zero. Also provided are a turbo lag boost compensation apparatus, a turbo lag boost compensation device, a hybrid power vehicle, and a storage medium. The present invention effectively solves adverse effects such as a slow torque response and a sudden torque change caused by a turbo lag on an entire vehicle, and improves the drivability and power of the entire vehicle.

A method and a system for a drive control of a vehicle, the method for the drive control of the vehicle includes: obtaining request information reflecting a power demand of a user on the vehicle and performance information reflecting a power performance of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle meets a condition for activating a parallel operation mode according to the request information and the performance information when a result of comparison between the request information and the performance information indicates that the vehicle power performance cannot meet the power demand of the user on the vehicle; and activating the parallel operation mode of the vehicle in order that the vehicle outputs a power that meets the power demand of the user on the vehicle in the parallel operation mode, when the vehicle meets the condition for activating the parallel operation mode.

A traction control method and a traction control apparatus for a vehicle are provided. The traction control method includes: estimating driving torque for each wheel and a difference between left and right wheel rotation speeds; determining a situation, in which the difference between the left and right wheel rotation speeds exceeds a first set value, to be a split wheel spin situation; estimating a maximum coefficient of friction between a spinning wheel and a road surface in the split wheel spin situation and estimating a maximum driving torque, at which the road surface is acceptable, by the maximum coefficient of friction; and obtaining a difference between driving torque of the spinning wheel and the maximum driving torque to calculate a road surface limitation excess driving torque and determining entry into traction control when the road surface limitation excess driving torque exceeds a second set value.

A hybrid vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a rotating electric machine; a planetary gear mechanism to which the internal combustion engine, the rotating electric machine and an output shaft are connected; a catalyst that purifies exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine; and a controller that controls the internal combustion engine and the rotating electric machine. The controller controls the internal combustion engine and the rotating electric machine to perform catalyst temperature control to shift an operating point on a map representing a relationship between rotation speed of the internal combustion engine and torque generated by the internal combustion engine so that the catalyst has a temperature within an appropriate temperature range. Degradation of the catalyst can be suppressed without deteriorating the function of the catalyst.

A vehicle includes an engine, a first MG, a planetary gear mechanism, a battery that stores power generated by the first MG and supplies the stored power to the first MG, and an HV-ECU that controls the engine and the first MG. The engine includes a turbo. A boost line is determined on a map representing a relationship between the rotation speed of the engine and torque generated by the engine, and the turbo boosts suctioned air when torque generated by the engine, as indicated by an operating point on the map, exceeds the boost line. The HV-ECU controls the engine and the first MG so that when the allowable value Wout of power output from the battery is small, the operating point exceeds the boost line at a higher rotation speed than when the allowable value Wout is large.

A controller for a hybrid vehicle controls an electric motor such that a motor torque is input to a crankshaft in order to compensate for a decrease in an engine torque when a cylinder deactivation control is executed, the decrease resulting from suspension of combustion in one or some of cylinders. The controller calculates an engine torque calculated value using an engine rotation speed, a motor rotation speed, and the motor torque. The controller diagnoses that the cylinder deactivation control is functioning normally when the engine torque calculated value is less than a torque determination value and diagnose that the cylinder deactivation control is not functioning normally when the engine torque calculated value is not less than the torque determination value during the execution of the cylinder deactivation control.
