With a motor in rotation, 0 is set as each of a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command, and offset learning is carried out. Then, in carrying out offset learning, a transmission is controlled such that a shift stage of the transmission falls within a low vehicle speed-side predetermined shift stage range. Thus, the rotational speed of the motor can be more reliably made high to a certain extent, and offset learning can be carried out. As a result, the accuracy of offset learning can be restrained from decreasing.

A calibration table usable in operating an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is updated. The operations comprise: determining a first torque value at a first time instant prior to executing a control command; determining a control command based on a speed of the ADV, a desired acceleration, and an associated entry in the calibration table; executing the control command; determining a second torque value at a second time instant subsequent to executing the control command; determining a torque error value as a difference between the first and second torque values; updating the associated entry in the calibration table based at least in part on the torque error value; and generating driving signals based at least in part on the updated calibration table to control operations of the ADV.

An output torque control apparatus for hybrid vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a motor controller that adjusts motor torque, an engine controller that adjusts engine torque, and a hybrid controller that operates the motor controller and the engine controller based on driving modes of a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid controller calculates transmission input torque corresponding to current request torque, confirms whether a current driving mode an EV mode or a HEV mode, calculates inertia compensation torque corresponding to the confirmed current driving mode, and calculates output torque based on the calculated inertia compensation torque and transmission input torque. Accordingly, at least one of the motor controller or the engine controller is operated based on the calculated output torque.

The present document relates to a dual motor electric driveline, comprising: a transmission having an input and an output, a power take-off (PTO), a first electric motor drivingly engaged or selectively drivingly engaged with the input of the transmission, a second electric motor, a first clutching device, and a second clutching device, wherein the second electric motor is selectively drivingly engaged with the input of the transmission through the first clutching device, and wherein the second electric motor is selectively drivingly engaged with the PTO through the second clutching device. The present document further relates to a vehicle including said dual motor electric driveline, and to a method of controlling said dual motor electric driveline.

A motor vehicle has at least two drive motors, at least one drive motor being an electric machine; a high-voltage accumulator; and an automatic gearbox, having at least one fixed transmission ratio and at least one power-split transmission ratio for transmission regulation starting from the at least one fixed transmission ratio. The motor vehicle further includes an electronic control unit, which is designed such that, when a gear change command is present, the shifting element to be opened of the fixed transmission ratio to be disengaged is unloaded in a torque-controlled manner by at least two of the drive motors. For the shifting element to be opened, the torque load is calculated and observed. The torque load is observed with the objective of bringing about a load change by way of a zero crossing in order to produce a no-load state at the shifting element. For producing the no-load state of the shifting element to be opened, a first drive motor and a second drive motor are controlled in a power split manner such that they, in terms of rotational speeds, maintain the transmission of the previously engaged fixed transmission ratio, and, in terms of torque, put the shifting element to be opened in an at least nearly no-load state, and a load change is brought about at the shifting element to be opened by a differential rotational speed, opposite the calculated torque load at the shifting element to be opened, being specified at the shifting element.

An automatic transmission device for a vehicle driven by transmitting a torque of an engine to driving wheels includes a clutch provided in a torque transmission system extending from the engine to the driving wheels, a transmission located between the clutch and the driving wheels in the torque transmission system, and a transmission controller. The transmission controller is configured or programmed to perform a torque feedback-control to bring the clutch into a sliding state in response to issue of a shift command and feedback-control a transmission torque to a target torque, disengage the clutch after the torque feedback-control, change a shift stage of the transmission according to the shift command after disengaging the clutch, and engage the clutch after changing the shift stage.

A method for assignment of vehicle control includes receiving route data indicating a route between a starting location of a vehicle and a destination location, and determining an optimal vehicle configuration for the route based on a target vehicle speed and a hybrid torque split. The method further includes receiving a driver requested torque value and determining a passive pedal torque value based on the route data and vehicle powertrain data. The method further includes selectively assigning control of the vehicle to a vehicle system or to a driver of the vehicle based on the driver requested torque value and the passive pedal torque value.

A hybrid electric vehicle includes an engine, a first motor directly connected to the engine, an engine clutch, a second motor selectively connected to the first motor through the engine clutch, a transmission directly connected to the second motor, a transmission controller configured to determine whether the transmission needs to be shifted, and a hybrid controller configured to compare a target torque reduction with intervention limits of the first and second motors when the engine clutch is in a locked-up state, to set torque reduction amounts of the engine, the first motor, and the second motor, respectively, and to output a torque command for controlling the torques of the engine, the first motor, and the second motor, respectively.

A powertrain includes a transmission having an input shaft, an output shaft, and a plurality of clutches engageable in various combinations to establish varying power flow paths between the input and output shafts. A controller is programmed to, responsive to a shift of the transmission: reduce torque capacity of an off-going one of the clutches and increase torque capacity of an oncoming one of the clutches during a torque transfer phase of the shift, and, in response to an inertia phase of the shift, continue to command non-zero torque capacity to the off-going clutch such that the off-going clutch brakes the output shaft throughout an entire duration of the inertia phase.
