TRACTION CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123995 titled 'TRACTION CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a traction control method for a vehicle with a torque vectoring apparatus, specifically for split-road surface situations.

  • The method involves determining if the vehicle is on a split road surface, creating a target speed for slip wheel speed control, transmitting the target speed to control torque vectoring motor, generating a torque command for the motor to follow the target speed, and controlling the motor accordingly.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in high-performance vehicles, off-road vehicles, and autonomous vehicles to improve traction and stability on split road surfaces.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the challenge of maintaining control and stability of a vehicle when driving on a split road surface, where different traction levels can cause instability and loss of control.

Benefits

- Enhanced traction and stability on split road surfaces - Improved handling and performance of the vehicle - Increased safety for drivers and passengers

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Vehicle Traction on Split Road Surfaces: Commercial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing traction control systems for vehicles, but the specific method described in this patent application, which integrates torque vectoring for split-road surface situations, may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact fuel efficiency in vehicles?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of this technology on fuel efficiency. It would be interesting to explore if the torque vectoring method affects fuel consumption in vehicles equipped with this system.

Can this technology be retrofitted into existing vehicles?

The abstract does not provide information on the compatibility of this technology with older vehicles. It would be valuable to know if this traction control method can be integrated into older vehicle models or if it is designed for new vehicle designs only.


Original Abstract Submitted

a traction control method for a vehicle provided with a torque vectoring apparatus including a torque vectoring motor includes determining, by first and second controllers, whether a current situation is a split-� situation occurring when the vehicle is driven on a split road surface, based on vehicle driving information collected in the vehicle, determining and creating, by the second controller, a target speed for control of a slip wheel speed when both controllers determine the split-� situation, and transmitting the target speed from the second controller to the first controller, generating, by the first controller, a torque command for the torque vectoring motor for slip wheel speed control to follow the target speed received from the second controller, and controlling, by the first controller, operation of the torque vectoring motor in accordance with the torque command.
