==VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874811 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The vehicle driving control method described in this patent application aims to minimize fuel consumption and improve efficiency during acceleration and coasting driving sections of a vehicle. The method involves controlling the speed and torque of the engine based on road gradient information and air resistance. 

* The method controls the engine speed and torque to minimize fuel consumption during acceleration.
* After reaching the maximum speed of an operation mode, the vehicle is controlled to perform coasting driving.
* The speed and torque of the engine are adjusted to optimize fuel efficiency during coasting driving.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be applied in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses, to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It can be integrated into existing vehicle control systems or implemented in new vehicle designs.

==Problems Solved==
1. Fuel consumption during acceleration: The method minimizes fuel consumption by optimizing engine speed and torque based on road gradient and air resistance information.
2. Fuel consumption during coasting: The method enables efficient coasting driving by controlling the engine speed and torque, further reducing fuel consumption.

==Benefits==
1. Improved fuel efficiency: By optimizing engine control during acceleration and coasting, this method helps reduce fuel consumption and lower operating costs.
2. Reduced emissions: The minimized fuel consumption leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a cleaner environment.
3. Enhanced driving experience: The method ensures smoother acceleration and coasting, resulting in a more comfortable and efficient driving experience.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A vehicle driving control method includes: controlling, by a controller, a speed of an engine included in a vehicle and a torque of the engine so that fuel consumption of the vehicle is minimized in an acceleration section of the vehicle, based on gradient information of a road on which the vehicle is being driven and an air resistance of the vehicle; and controlling, by the controller, the vehicle to perform coasting driving in a coasting driving section of the vehicle after a speed of the vehicle reaches a maximum speed of an operation mode, in which the vehicle is accelerated and then performs the coasting driving, by the control of the speed of the engine and the torque of the engine.
