A power distribution management method includes receiving accelerator pedal opening information sent by a hybrid vehicle; on the basis of the accelerator pedal opening information, respectively compiling statistics on a first opening change rate when the accelerator pedal opening is in a starting interval and when the accelerator pedal opening is increased and a second opening change rate when the accelerator pedal opening is in an overtaking interval and when the accelerator pedal opening is increased, the starting interval corresponding to a first preset range of the accelerator pedal opening, and the overtaking interval corresponding to a second preset range of the accelerator pedal opening; calculating a driver feature coefficient on the basis of the first opening change rate and the second opening change rate; and sending the driver feature coefficient to the hybrid vehicle.

An electrified vehicle may include an electric motor coupled to a battery to propel and brake the vehicle, a pedal generating a pedal position signal including a released position signal, friction brakes configured to provide a stopping force to vehicle wheels, and a controller programmed to control the motor and the brakes in response to the pedal being released to decelerate the vehicle to a stop, and to control the motor and an engine (in hybrid vehicles) to inhibit propulsive torque to the wheels after stopping due to the pedal released position until receiving driver input indicative of a request for moving the vehicle, such as depressing the brake or accelerator pedal, or activating an automated vehicle maneuver, such as a parking maneuver, cruise control, or stop-and-go control. Inhibiting torque may include inhibiting creep torque and/or operating the electric machine to charge the battery when the engine is running.

A method for operating an accelerator pedal-controlled distance controller of a vehicle. The distance controller regulates a distance to a target vehicle as a function of an actuator pedal value of the vehicle and activates automatic braking operations as necessary. A braking operation is aborted when the accelerator pedal value is increased during the braking operation.

Automated launch torque is provided. An automated virtual launch torque generation (AVL-TG) system may be included in a vehicle, such as a heavy duty truck, that may interoperate with an adaptive cruise control (CC) system to move the vehicle from a standstill or low speed to a CC handover speed. The AVL-TG system may determine a tip-in torque curve configured to mimic a torque curve generated by a human operator's acceleration pedal tip-in from a standstill or low speed. The tip-in torque curve may be represented by torque demand values corresponding to a dynamic pedal saturation level applied over a dynamic pedal rate. The torque demand values determined by the AVL-TG system may mimic an expected or human vehicle operator generated torque request, and may operate to successfully close the clutch and smoothly launch the vehicle from a standstill or low speed.

When a driving assist ECU determines that a mistaken pedal operation has occurred, it starts an automatic brake control, and thereafter, ends the automatic brake control when a steering operation rate ω is greater than a threshold ωf (ω>ωf). Whereas, when the ECU determines that the mistaken pedal operation has not occurred, it performs a steering override control and does not perform the automatic brake control, when a steering operation amount θ is greater than a threshold θe or when the steering operation rate ω is greater than the threshold.

When a driver is not in pedal erroneous operation inducing situation and a rate of change in an operation amount of an accelerator pedal is equal to or greater than a first erroneous operation determination threshold value, a driving assistance apparatus determines that operation of the accelerator pedal is erroneous operation. When the driver is in the pedal erroneous operation inducing situation and the rate of change in the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is equal to or greater than a second erroneous operation determination threshold value, the riving assistance apparatus determines that the operation of the accelerator pedal is the erroneous operation, and the second erroneous operation determination threshold value is smaller than the first erroneous operation determination threshold value.

Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle configured to execute driving force suppression control when a predetermined erroneous operation condition is satisfied, the erroneous operation condition being satisfied when a first condition including at least an operation velocity condition is satisfied and a second condition is satisfied, the operation velocity condition being satisfied when an operation velocity which is an amount of change in an operation amount of an accelerator operation element per unit time is equal to or higher than an operation velocity threshold, and the second condition being satisfied when the operation amount becomes equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold within a first time threshold from a time point at which the first condition is satisfied.

A method actuates a vehicle drivetrain of a vehicle having a drive unit, in particular an electric motor, wherein the drivetrain has at least one first partial drivetrain which is assigned to a first output unit which transmits a torque between the drive unit and the first output unit, and has at least one second partial drive train which is assigned to a second output unit which transmits a torque between the drive unit and the second output unit. When a positive torque is transmitted, a load is applied to the drivetrain in a first direction, and when a negative torque is transmitted, a load is applied to the drivetrain in a second direction opposed to the first direction. At least one pre-load device is provided which, when a predetermined positive torque limiting value is reached or when a predetermined negative torque limiting value is reached, pre-loads the first partial drivetrain in the first direction of the positive torque and pre-loads the second partial drivetrain in the second direction of the negative torque.

The disclosure provides an engine control method, system, and vehicle, and the vehicle comprises a battery and an engine, wherein the method includes: obtaining a current maximum discharge power value of the battery, and a current maximum external characteristic power value of the vehicle; obtaining a current opening value and a current opening change rate of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle; determining a driving intention based on the current opening value and the current opening change rate; and controlling start and stop of the engine according to the driving intention, the current maximum discharge power value, and the current maximum external characteristic power value of the vehicle. Since the driving intention is determined by the current opening value and the current opening change rate in advance, and based on the determined driving intention, in combination with the current maximum discharge power value of the battery and the current maximum external characteristic power value of the vehicle, the power response is carried out in advance so as to ensure that a larger power request can be satisfied at the next moment, thus avoiding the case where the engine is unnecessarily started or is not started in time.

A driver assistance system includes a detector configured to detect pedestrians or obstacles in a front detection area and a rear detection area of a vehicle; an accelerator pedal sensor configured to detect a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle; and a controller configured to selectively activate the front detection area and the rear detection area according to a gear state of the vehicle, when there is the pedestrians or the obstacles in the activated detection area, to recognize an acceleration pedal change amount from an acceleration pedal position detected through the accelerator pedal sensor, to determine whether emergency braking of the vehicle is necessary based on the recognized acceleration pedal change amount, and when the emergency braking is necessary, to perform the emergency braking for the vehicle.
