Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle equipped with electric motors (1, 4) for driving or braking drive wheels (3, 6), and an electric motor controller (33) for controlling the electric motors includes: wheel speed detectors (9 to 12) for detecting the wheel speed of the drive wheels and that of idler wheels (7, 8); computing means (22 to 28, 35 to 38) for computing the slip ratio of the drive wheels based on the wheel speed of the drive wheels and that of the idler wheels; and a determiner (29) for determining that the drive wheels are slipping if the slip ratio exceeds a slip ratio determination value. If the wheel speed of the idler wheels is lower than set speeds Va2, Vb2, then the determiner (29) changes the slip ratio determination value to a value having as the same sign as, and a larger absolute value than, the values λa2, λb2 used when the wheel speed of the idler wheels is higher than the set speeds Va2, Vb2. This structure shortens acceleration time during acceleration traveling and reduces braking distance during deceleration traveling while inhibiting vibrations of the electrically driven vehicle.

Abstract: A running control apparatus calculates a target driving or braking torque in a calculating block to control the vehicle driven or braked by this torque at a target speed against a running resistance changed with running circumstances of the vehicle. In a control block, when a driver-required braking torque based on the braking operation of the driver is smaller than the target braking torque, the running control for the vehicle is performed to brake the vehicle by the target braking torque. When the driver-required braking torque becomes higher than the target braking torque, the running control is stopped, and the driver manually brakes the vehicle by the driver-required braking torque. When the driver-required braking torque is decreased to be lower than the target braking torque or a predetermined braking torque corresponding to the release of the braking operation, the running control is restarted.

Abstract: A electric vehicle comprises a drive wheel which is driven by a traction electric motor, a brake command device, a brake releasing unit, a brake shaft, a friction plate, and a braking spring. The brake shaft is rotatable in a brake realizing direction which is one direction by an operation of the brake command device, and is rotatable in a brake releasing direction which is the other direction by driving of the brake releasing unit. The friction plate is operatively connected to the traction electric motor, and is frictionally braked when the brake shaft is rotated in the brake realizing direction. The braking spring applies an elastic force to the brake shaft in a direction to rotate the brake shaft in the brake realizing direction. The brake releasing unit comprises a brake releasing motor, a displacement member which is displaced by driving of the brake releasing motor, and a displacement permitting spring which permits elastic relative displacement between the displacement member and the brake shaft, and applies an elastic force to the brake shaft in a direction to maintain a relative position between the brake shaft and the displacement permitting spring.
