System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to skid recovery for a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method for controlling a vehicle during skid includes obtaining data indicating a skid condition of the vehicle, determining whether the skid condition can be corrected by counter-steering, and executing an intervention when the skid condition cannot be corrected by counter-steering, the intervention including inducing slippage in front wheels of the vehicle to change a direction and/or magnitude of lateral forces at the front wheels.

A vehicle stability control method and a vehicle stability control device are provided. The method may be applied to an intelligent automobile field such as intelligent driving or autonomous driving, and is used to control lateral stability of a front axis and rear axis distributed driven vehicle. In this method, a yawing movement of the vehicle is considered, and an additional yawing moment for maintaining lateral stability of the vehicle is provided by compensating for front-axis and rear-axis slip ratios, to control lateral stability of the vehicle and therefore improve stability of the vehicle during driving.

A driving force control system that controls a driving force in line with a driver's intension to propel a vehicle on a slippery road surface without wheel slip. A controller is configured to obtain individual relations of a slip ratio on a road surface to parameters including the driving force, a running resistance of the vehicle, and an accelerating force of the vehicle, and to control the driving force based on the obtained relations of the slip ratio to each of said parameters.

A device for wheel slip control on a motor vehicle having at least one front axle and at least one rear axle is specified, wherein the front axle is assigned at least one front actuator for influencing at least one linear front wheel speed, and the rear axle is assigned at least one rear actuator for influencing at least one linear rear wheel speed. The device comprises at least one interface, which is designed to receive the following parameters: at least one first parameter indicating the at least one linear front wheel speed; at least one second parameter indicating the at least one linear rear wheel speed; and at least one third parameter indicating a vehicle speed, wherein the at least one third parameter is different from the at least one first parameter and the at least one second parameter.

A vehicle control apparatus includes an additional yaw moment decider that decides an additional yaw moment based on a yaw rate of a vehicle, a spin tendency determiner that makes a determination as to a spin tendency of the vehicle, a rotation difference decider that decides a rotation difference control amount for controlling a difference in rotation between left and right front wheels of the vehicle so as to reduce the difference in rotation, when the vehicle is determined to have the spin tendency, a rear wheel braking/driving force decider that decides a rear wheel braking/driving force control amount for controlling braking/driving forces of left and right rear wheels of the vehicle based on the additional yaw moment, and a front wheel braking/driving force decider that decides a front wheel braking/driving force control amount for controlling braking/driving forces of the left and right front wheels of the vehicle.

A system for determining movement characteristics of a mobile machine may comprise: a sensor coupled to the machine and configured to communicate a signal indicative of a velocity of the machine, wherein the sensor is coupled to a portion of the machine that is disparate from a rear axle of the machine; an inertial measurement unit coupled to the machine and configured to communicate a signal indicative of an acceleration and an angular velocity of the machine; and a controller configured to: receive (a) the velocity signal and (b) the acceleration and angular velocity signal; and using (a) the velocity signal and (b) the acceleration and angular velocity signal, determine a lateral velocity of the rear axle of the machine.

A vehicle includes a first axle, second axle, first clutch, second clutch, and controller. The first and second axles are coupled by a driveshaft. The first and second clutches are configured to isolate the driveshaft from loads transferred through the first and second axles, respectively, when open. The controller is programmed to, in response to a difference between output speeds of the first and second axles exceeding a first threshold, close the second clutch, reduce the difference such that it is below a second threshold, and close the first clutch.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, front wheels, and rear wheels. The vehicle also includes front drive means for driving the front wheels with a front nominal speed, rear drive means for driving the rear wheels with a rear nominal speed, and control means. The control means are adapted and configured for selectively controlling the front drive means and the rear drive means so that either the front nominal speed is different from the rear nominal speed, or so that the front nominal speed is equal to the rear nominal speed.
