Vehicle and method of controlling a load distribution of a vehicle
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle, in particular an off-highway vehicle, comprising a first axle and a second axle and a sensor unit comprising at least one load sensor configured to produce a load sensor signal indicative of a load on at least one of the first axle and the second axle. The vehicle further comprises a movable weight configured to be moved relative to the first axle and to the second axle, an actuator system configured to move the movable weight relative to the first axle and to the second axle, and a control unit configured to control the actuator system based at least on the load sensor signal.
Method for preventing roll-over of a motor vehicle by means of torque vectoring
Systems and methods for preventing roll-over of a motor vehicle in the event of a transverse load change. The motor vehicle has an individual-wheel drive designed to drive a wheel that is loaded by the transverse load change independently of the at least one other wheel of the motor vehicle. One methods includes identifying a critical state of the motor vehicle in the event of a transverse load change, applying a drive torque by the individual-wheel drive to the motor vehicle wheel that is loaded by the transverse load change such that the wheel that is loaded by the transverse load change is caused to slip, and steering the motor vehicle wheel that is loaded by the transverse load change in the direction of the direction of travel such that a roll-over of the motor vehicle can be prevented.
System and method for operating vehicle in selected vehicle mode
A system includes a differential, sensors, and a controller. The differential is operable in a first differential mode in which a first shaft and a second shaft are allowed to rotate at different speeds, and a second differential mode in which the differential inhibits relative rotation between the first and second shafts. The sensors are configured to measure vehicle operating conditions. The controller is in communication with the sensors and the differential. The controller, when the vehicle mode is selected, is configured to determine if an intended path of the vehicle is straight, determine if a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined vehicle speed, and operate the differential in the second differential mode for a predetermined time period in response to the controller determining that the intended path of the vehicle is straight and the vehicle speed is less than the predetermined vehicle speed.
VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR AND STABILITY CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
A method of controlling stability of a motorized vehicle having an electric motor as a drive source includes determining a slope of a road ahead, when sensing a sudden slope change point as a result of determination, determining a correction section based on the sudden slope change point, and correcting stability control torque in the correction section to compensate for motion of the vehicle body due to a change in the slope of the road using a pitching motion of the vehicle body caused by the torque of the electric motor.
Method and apparatus for controlling electric machines
The present disclosure relates to a controller for controlling operation of at least first and second traction machines in a vehicle. The controller includes a processor configured to predict an operating temperature of each of said at least first and second traction machines for at least a portion of a current route. The processor determines at least first and second torque requests for said at least first and second traction machines. The at least first and second torque requests are determined in dependence on the predicted operating temperatures of the at least first and second traction machines. The processor generates at least first and second traction motor control signals in dependence on the determined at least first and second torque requests. The present disclosure also relates to method of controlling at least first and second traction machines in a vehicle.
Emergency braking system, emergency braking method and semitrailer
The present disclosure provides an emergency braking system, an emergency braking method and a semitrailer, capable of improving the braking effect of the vehicle, thereby achieving improved safety for the vehicle. The system includes: a sensor component configured to collect sensed information on an environment where a semitrailer is located; and a braking controller configured to determine whether there is a risk of collision for the semitrailer based on the sensed information, and if so, calculate a maximum adhesive force that can be provided by a road surface the semitrailer is currently on, determine a first braking pressure corresponding to each wheel based on the maximum adhesive force and axle load information, and transmit to a braking system a first braking instruction carrying the first braking pressure for each wheel.
VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A LOAD DISTRIBUTION OF A VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle, in particular an off-highway vehicle, comprising a first axle and a second axle and a sensor unit comprising at least one load sensor configured to produce a load sensor signal indicative of a load on at least one of the first axle and the second axle. The vehicle further comprises a movable weight configured to be moved relative to the first axle and to the second axle, an actuator system configured to move the movable weight relative to the first axle and to the second axle, and a control unit configured to control the actuator system based at least on the load sensor signal.
Vehicle-mounted wave transmission and wave response reception
Various embodiments are described that relate to wave transmission from a vehicle, and reception of a response to the transmitted wave. A vehicle wheel can include a sensor that transmits a radio wave in front of the vehicle. The radio wave can reflect off a non-uniformity, such as a speed bump or pothole, and be returned to the sensor. A controller can compare the transmitted wave against the returned wave to identify the existence of the non-uniformity.
Emergency brake control method and device, ECU and vehicle
Disclosed are an emergency brake control method, device, ECU and vehicle. The method includes: when receiving a first trigger signal indicating that a vehicle enters a driving accompanying mode, activating the driving accompanying mode; and in the driving accompanying mode, when receiving an emergency brake command, controlling an Electronic Stability Program ESP to decelerate the vehicle at a preset deceleration in the driving accompanying mode, and sending a fuel cut-off request signal to an Engine Management System EMS to cut off a torque output of an engine.
