VEHICLE HAVING SLOPE DRIVING ASSIST FUNCTION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18117928 titled 'VEHICLE HAVING SLOPE DRIVING ASSIST FUNCTION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle with a slope driving assist function. The control unit determines a compensation torque based on the gradient resistance of the driving road and allocates the total required torque to the motors based on the feasibility of outputting the torque from the second motor.
- The vehicle includes a first motor, a second motor, and a control unit.
- The control unit calculates a compensation torque based on the gradient resistance of the driving road.
- The total required torque is allocated to the motors based on the feasibility of outputting the torque from the second motor.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and off-road vehicles to improve driving performance on slopes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently controlling the vehicle on slopes by adjusting the torque output based on the gradient resistance of the driving road.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved traction and stability on slopes, increased energy efficiency, and enhanced driving experience for the users.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include electric vehicle manufacturers, autonomous vehicle companies, and off-road vehicle manufacturers looking to enhance their vehicles' performance on slopes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that assist vehicles in driving on slopes by adjusting the torque output based on the road conditions. However, the specific method of determining compensation torque based on gradient resistance may be a novel aspect of this technology.
What is the specific method used to determine the compensation torque based on gradient resistance in this technology?
The specific method used to determine the compensation torque based on gradient resistance involves the control unit analyzing the gradient of the driving road and calculating the torque needed to overcome the resistance.
How does the allocation of the total required torque to the motors based on the feasibility of outputting the torque from the second motor improve vehicle performance on slopes?
By allocating the total required torque to the motors based on the feasibility of outputting the torque from the second motor, the vehicle can optimize its power distribution and ensure efficient performance on slopes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle including a slope driving assist function includes a first motor, a second motor, and a control unit configured to determine a compensation torque based on a gradient resistance according to the gradient of a driving road on which the vehicle is driving and allocate a total required torque including the compensation torque and driver's required torque to at least one of the first motor and the second motor based on whether the total required torque may be outputted from the second motor.
