Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for controlling drag torque of an engine for a vehicle is provided to prevent slip of the wheel in temporarily reducing driving force less than drag torque of the engine while traveling on the snowy or icy road by adding the control logic to the anti-lock brake system or the electronic stability program. CONSTITUTION: A slip state of a driving wheel of a vehicle is decided, and operation of a brake is decided in a method for controlling drag torque of an engine(S101,S102). In operating the brake, the anti-lock brake system control step is performed(S103). A clutch is released to release the slip of the driving wheel at the slip of the driving wheel and in not operating the brake(S104). The clutch is restricted when the slip of the driving wheel is released(S105,S106). The final step is performed in not detecting the slip of the driving wheel, and the clutch is released at the slip of the driving wheel when releasing the clutch.
Abstract:
A method for detecting and correcting vehicle reference speed, in particular when the speed undergoes a controlled reduction due to drag or regeneration torque, of an all-wheel drive vehicle. The longitudinal acceleration of the motor vehicle, and the wheel accelerations are determined by sensors. The method is to provide reliable determination of the vehicle reference speed and the initiation of corrective measures once a controlled reduction has been recognized. The steps include filtering the wheel accelerations, filtering the longitudinal accelerations, forming a corrected longitudinal acceleration by applying a safety offset and a correction offset to the filtered longitudinal acceleration, and temporal integration of the difference between the corrected longitudinal acceleration and the respective wheel acceleration. In the event a threshold value of the absolute value of the difference is exceeded during a predetermined time interval with a preset number of wheels, step for adjusting the correction offset are initiated.
Abstract:
A method and system for promoting a uniform driving style. A longitudinal speed of a motor vehicle and a route section curvature radius lying ahead of the vehicle are determined when the vehicle approaches the route section. An expected lateral acceleration is determined from the curvature radius and longitudinal speed as the route section is driven through. The lateral acceleration is compared with a permanently predefined lateral acceleration limiting value which can be predefined by the driver. In the event the expected lateral acceleration is greater than at least one of the lateral acceleration limiting values, the longitudinal speed is lowered by an optical, acoustic and/or haptic request to the driver and/or by autonomous braking intervention. If the expected lateral acceleration is smaller than or equal to the lower of the two lateral acceleration limiting values the lowering of the longitudinal speed is reduced by decreasing the engine drag torque.
Abstract:
In a method for assisting the calculation of vehicle speed in a vehicle that comprises an axle differential on at least one vehicle axle and a braking device for decelerating individual wheels of the vehicle axle, in the case of deceleration of the vehicle via the drive train, one wheel of the vehicle axle is additionally decelerated by way of the braking system, the rotation speed of the oppositely located wheel being taken as the basis for ascertaining the vehicle speed.
Abstract:
A method and associated safety system are provided for the recognition of defects in a drive system of a motor vehicle, having an electronically controllable brake control system and having at least one electronically controlled driving engine, an electronically controllable clutch and/or having an electronically controllable transmission. An electronic braking control device is assigned to the brake control system, which braking control device is connected with an independent monitoring module. The independent monitoring module checks for an occurrence of an implausible braking torque, for detecting a defect in the drive system.
Abstract:
A coasting control device capable of avoiding coasting control during running on road having a small coefficient of friction between a tire and a road surface (“low μ roads”) includes a low μ road running recognition unit which recognizes that a vehicle is running on a low μ road and a unit for prohibiting coasting control during low μ road running when the low μ road running recognition unit recognizes that the vehicle is running on a low μ road.
Abstract:
A vehicle braking force control device which, at a normal time, performs antilock brake control when the slip ratio of a wheel has become equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The control device acquires from the engine control unit an accelerator pedal position signal corresponding to an accelerator pedal position, a clutch connection signal corresponding to a state of connection of a clutch, and a power transmission signal corresponding to a state of power transmission of a transmission. When engine braking is large on the basis of the accelerator pedal position signal, the clutch connection signal, and the power transmission signal, the vehicle braking force control device changes the predetermined threshold value to an offset threshold value that makes it harder to perform the antilock brake control than at the normal time.
Abstract:
A method for a Sensitive Electronic Stability Program (SESP) presents a general approach for the correction of maneuvers of turning into a bend at low speed. It integrates existing methods as well as subsequent extensions. SESP supplements the standard active yaw control (AYC) function. This allows the SESP to use variables and mechanisms of AYC, on the one hand. On the other hand, AYC continues operating unimpeded in the background and will intervene as usual when SESP cannot stabilize the vehicle appropriately. When the standard AYC intervenes, SESP control operations are forbidden, or running SESP control operations are stopped. This stop can take place either abruptly or (which is more comfortable) by way of a moderate decrease of the correcting variables.
