Method for operating a drive train of a vehicle
A method for operating a drive-train of a vehicle, such as a municipal or agricultural utility vehicle, having at least one drive machine, a vehicle transmission with at least two gears, at least one drive axle and at least one auxiliary power take-off. The method includes controlling or regulating a supply of normal power from the drive machine as a function of a normal torque characteristic. Depending on the operating situation, supplying additional power to the at least one drive axle and/or to the at least one auxiliary power take-off. The supplied additional power is controlled or regulated as a function of operating situation dependent torque characteristics which are called up as a function of the selected gear at the time.
Distributed computing systems for autonomous vehicle operations
Disclosed are distributed computing systems and methods for controlling multiple autonomous control modules and subsystems in an autonomous vehicle. In some aspects of the disclosed technology, a computing architecture for an autonomous vehicle includes distributing the complexity of autonomous vehicle operation, thereby avoiding the use of a single high-performance computing system and enabling off-the-shelf components to be use more readily and reducing system failure rates.
Methods and system for controlling engine stop position
A method and system for controlling a stop rotation position of an engine is described. In one example, the system includes an integrated starter/generator that may be selectively coupled to the engine. The integrated starter/generator may rotate the engine in a first direction (e.g., reverse direction) or a second direction (e.g., a forward direction) in response to a position at which the engine stops rotating following cessation of combustion in the engine.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID VEHICLE POWER GENERATION
Responsive to a user request, a controller operates an engine of a vehicle while parked to charge a traction battery to a target state of charge that exceeds a maximum state of charge limit, used during drive of the vehicle by an electric machine, in advance of a predefined period of time.
Vehicle slip regulation method and apparatus, electronic device and medium
The present invention relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle slip regulation method and apparatus, an electronic device and a medium. The vehicle slip regulation method comprises the following steps: determining a pavement type of a vehicle driving pavement in response to a vehicle acceleration slip regulation event; determining an overall target acceleration of a vehicle according to the determined pavement type, the speed of a non-driving wheel and the slip time of a driving wheel; and performing vehicle slip regulation according to the overall target acceleration. The method does not need to determine wheel adhesion coefficient of a vehicle according to coefficients such as vehicle weight and road slope, can perform slip regulation by calculating overall target accelerations under different pavements, and has strong practicability and robustness and good acceleration slip regulation effect.
Method and Control Unit for Operating a Hybrid Vehicle
A method for operating a hybrid vehicle includes, determining a shift element to be utilized for decoupling of slip and a decoupling differential speed depending on whether a starting process is carried out, depending on whether the transmission is transferred from a torque-transmitting state into a non-torque-transmitting state or from a non-torque-transmitting state into a torque-transmitting state, depending on whether a gear ratio change is carried out, and depending on whether the hybrid vehicle includes a hydrodynamic starting component.
VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A vehicle includes a controller that identifies a target around the vehicle and calculates a danger range of the identified target, based on processing surrounding data obtained by sensor devices; calculates a danger range of the vehicle based on processing driving data obtained by sensor devices; determines a danger of collision based on the danger range of the target and the danger range of the vehicle, and control a driving apparatus based on the determined danger of collision. Such a vehicle and a control method thereof can make it possible to avoid a collision based on a danger range by calculating the danger range between the vehicle and a surrounding object of the vehicle depending on a factor causing uneasiness of a user.
State of function adaptive power management
A method for controlling a vehicle active chassis power system includes determining, via a processor, a minimum output voltage/current threshold for an aggregated power supply associated with an active chassis operation, and generating an aggregate State of Function (SoF) indicative of a maximum voltage/current budget for an output of the vehicle active chassis power system. The aggregate SoF is based on a primary power source voltage/current output and a power storage voltage/current output. The method further includes causing to control an active chassis power system actuator based on a minimum voltage/current value associated with the aggregate SoF. Causing to control the active chassis power system actuator can include publishing the aggregate SoF to a braking actuator, a steering actuator, or to a domain controller that actively distributes an aggregated power supply capability SoF to a braking actuator and a steering actuator based on one or more present vehicle states.
