  • Patent number: 8473184
    Abstract: A control method and a control system for deceleration of a vehicle including a continuous valve lift apparatus (CVVL) may include determining whether fuel cutting condition is satisfied, determining whether brake pedal input signal is detected and controlling deceleration according to brake pedal input signal by at least one of controlling throttle opening angle and controlling valve lift of the CVVL.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2013
    Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, KIA Motors Corporation
    Inventors: Maru Yoon, Hakmo Yoo
  • Patent number: 8335628
    Abstract: A method for controlling a variable valve apparatus of an internal combustion engine and a system thereof is disclosed. A method for controlling a variable valve apparatus of an internal combustion engine may include: setting a target cam phase corresponding to a current operation state of an engine received from a vehicle controller via a controller area network (CAN) bus; determining whether a deviation of the current cam phase from the target cam phase is greater than a predetermined deviation; calculating a proportion-integral-derivation (PID) sliding surface based on the target cam phase; calculating a control current for controlling a cam phase to move on the sliding surface in a case when the deviation is greater than the predetermined deviation; and operating the variable valve device so that the current cam phase can follow the target cam phase by converting the calculated control current to a driving duty ratio.

  • Patent number: 7512480
    Abstract: An electronic variable valve apparatus may be stably controlled regardless of variations of engine condition with minimized usage of map tables by employing a sliding surface calculation for controlling the electronic variable valve apparatus in order to achieve a target cam angle.
