DRIVING FORCE CONTROL APPARATUS, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF
A driving force control apparatus includes: a sensor that collects information associated with a state of a vehicle, a driving device that provides a driving force to a drive wheel of the vehicle, and a processor electrically connected with the sensor and the driving device. In particular, the processor calculates a required driving force of a driver and a limit driving force of the vehicle based on at least a portion of information collected by means of the sensor, in a situation where the vehicle is turning. The processor further controls the driving device such that the required driving force does not exceed the limit driving force.
TIRE SLIP STATE DETERMINATION METHOD
A tire slip state determination method includes: detecting rotation fluctuations of a power transmission member and a wheel body of a wheel; determining, based on an amplitude ratio of a rotation fluctuation amplitude of the wheel body to a rotation fluctuation amplitude of the power transmission member and a phase delay of the rotation fluctuation of the wheel body relative to the rotation fluctuation of the power transmission member, whether a vibration mode of the wheel body and the tire is an elastic slip mode or a sliding slip mode; and determining that the tire is in the sliding slip state when the vibration mode is the sliding slip mode. The amplitude ratio and the phase delay are calculated by using, as a tire driving radius, an effective rolling radius in a region in which a relationship between a dynamic load radius and the effective rolling radius is linear.
Excavator and method of controlling the same
An attachment is attached to an upper turning body. During a normal operation, a drive means drives the attachment according to an input of an operator to a manipulation device. A sensor detects a motion of an excavator. Based on an output of the sensor, the slip suppression unit detects slip of a traveling body in an extension direction of the attachment and corrects an operation of the attachment performed by the drive means.
Road friction and wheel slippage assessment for autonomous vehicles
The disclosure relates to assessing and responding to wheel slippage and estimating road friction for a road surface. For instance, a vehicle may be controlled in an autonomous driving mode in order to follow a trajectory. A wheel of the vehicle may be determined to be slipping such that the vehicle has limited steering control. In response to determining that the wheel is slipping, steering of one or more wheels may be controlled in order to orient the one or more wheels towards the trajectory in order to allow the vehicle to proceed towards the trajectory when the wheel is no longer slipping. In addition, the road friction may be estimated based on the determination that the wheel is slipping. The vehicle may be controlled in the autonomous driving mode based on the estimated road friction.
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.
Torque deration in response traction control events
A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for incrementally derating a torque applied by a drivetrain in response a number of traction control events detected by a traction control system over a predetermined time period.
Four-wheel-drive vehicle
When evacuation travel is performed using only a drive power from one drive power source of an engine and a rotary machine, a drive power distribution device is prohibited from switching to a four-wheel-drive state and thus evacuation travel is performed in a two-wheel-drive state in which a loss in a power transmission device is relatively small. Accordingly, in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, it is possible to increase an evacuation-travelable distance when evacuation travel is performed using only the drive power from one drive power source of the engine and the rotary machine.
Friction estimation
A system for estimating the friction between a road surface and a tire of a vehicle includes at least one first sensor and at least one vehicle processing device containing a friction estimation algorithm which is arranged to estimate the friction between the road surface and the tire of the vehicle based on friction related measurements is provided. The vehicle processing device is arranged to: receive an estimate of the expected friction between the road surface and the tire of the vehicle from a central processing device, from a storage device in the vehicle, or from at least one second sensor in the vehicle; adapt the friction estimation algorithm based on said received estimate of the expected friction; receive at least one friction related measurement from the at least one first sensor in the vehicle; and use the adapted friction estimation algorithm to perform an estimation of the friction between the road surface and the tire of the vehicle based on the at least one friction related measurement.
Electronic stability control method for vehicle
The present disclosure provides an electronic stability control method for a vehicle for performing vehicular electronic stability control simply by adjusting driving force and braking power that are generated by a driving device of the vehicle without use of a driving force distributing method between front, rear, left, or right vehicle wheels. To this end, the vehicular electronic stability control method includes determining a vehicular state value indicating a driving state of a vehicle from information collected from the vehicle, comparing the determined vehicle state value with a first reference value, and controlling an operation of a driving device for generating driving force for driving the vehicle by the controller when the vehicle state value is greater than the first reference value to adjust driving force for preventing understeer or oversteer of the vehicle.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PROPULSION OF A HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE
A method for controlling propulsion of a heavy-duty vehicle includes. configuring a nominal shaft slip of the drive shaft in dependence of a desired longitudinal wheel force to be generated by the driven axle, wherein a shaft slip is indicative of a difference between a current vehicle velocity and a vehicle velocity corresponding to the rotation speed of the drive shaft, obtaining a rotation speed of the left wheel and a rotation speed of the right wheel, as function of a current shaft slip of the driven axle, estimating a peak shaft slip value associated with an open differential peak longitudinal force of the driven axle, based on the current shaft slip and on the corresponding obtained speeds of the left and right wheels, and controlling propulsion of the heavy-duty vehicle unit by setting the current shaft slip of the drive shaft based on the configured nominal shaft slip adjusted in dependence of the estimated peak shaft slip value.
