  • Patent number: 9446764
    Abstract: A system and a method for controlling an engine clutch of a hybrid vehicle are provided which maintain the acceleration of the vehicle substantially constant before and after release of an engine clutch to prevent a driver from feeling a sense of difference due to a change in inertia when the engine clutch is released. When an engine clutch is released to transfer the driving mode of the vehicle from a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode to an electric vehicle (EV) mode, the acceleration of the vehicle before and after release of an engine clutch is maintained substantially constant by adjusting motor torque to be decreased and gently adjusting the motor torque to be suitable for a driver request torque in the EV mode.

  • Publication number: 20160159352
    Abstract: A method for controlling an auto cruise speed of a vehicle includes: determining a feedback torque for correcting a speed error between a target speed set by a driver of the vehicle and a current speed that is a feedback speed detected by a speed sensor of a vehicle; determining a drive resistance according to the target speed by inputting the target speed; determining a first feedforward torque according to the determined drive resistance; determining a second feedforward torque based on a vehicle inertia and a variation of the target speed by inputting the target speed; and outputting a command for generating a wheel required torque that is corrected by adding the first feedforward torque and the second feedforward torque to the feedback torque.

  • Publication number: 20160137191
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling an engine clutch are provided. The method includes determining whether an engine start condition is satisfied when an engine is stopped and performing an engine cranking operation by operating a hybrid starter & generator (HSG) when the engine start condition is satisfied. Whether an engine speed is greater than or equal to a first reference speed is determined to thus reduce an HSG torque. Then, whether the engine speed is greater than or equal to a second reference speed is determined to thus calculate a target speed of the engine. A speed control of the engine is performed using the target speed of the engine while determining whether an engine clutch engagement condition is satisfied. An engine clutch is engaged when the engine clutch engagement condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9037364
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling anti-jerk in order to reduce vibration of a vehicle is provided. More specifically, a rotation speed (?m) of a driving source device of the vehicle is received and a speed (?lwh, ?rwh) of a left wheel and a right wheel connected to the driving source device is detected by a sensor respectively. Then, a controller, which receives this data, calculates an average speed (?fwh) based on the detected left and right wheel speeds, produces a virtual speed through interpolation of the detected left and right wheel speeds and the average speed based on a predetermined sampling value, and calculates a model speed (?ref) based on the detected left and right wheel speeds, the average speed, the virtual speed, and a final gear ratio (?j; where j is the number of the gear) considering a final reduction gear ratio (FGR) and a current gear of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8874297
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system of controlling anti-jerk for reducing vibration of an electric vehicle using power of a motor. The method includes outputting an actual speed of the motor; outputting a model speed of the motor; obtaining a vibration component based on a deviation between the output motor speed and actual speed of the motor; high pass filtering the vibration component to remove an error component in the vibration component; delaying a phase of the filtered vibration component for a preset time to compensate for phase error occurring during the high pass filtering; and applying a preset gain to the vibration component in which the phase is delayed for the preset time to generate an anti-jerk compensation torque based on the applying of the preset gain.

  • Patent number: 8825340
    Abstract: Disclosed is a vibration control apparatus of a driving system for a vehicle. More specifically, a toque command generating portion receives a demand torque from a driver and generates a torque command for operating a motor. A torque control portion receives the torque command from the toque command generating portion, collects information on exterior disturbances, and controls an actual torque of the motor accordingly. Lastly, a damping portion extracts and filters a vibration element generated due to operation of the motor by control of the torque control portion and generates a target torque to eliminate vibrations from the motor.

  • Publication number: 20130275069
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique of correcting a resolver offset by measuring and correcting an offset of a resolver assembled to a motor of an eco-friendly vehicle in an accurate and simple way. The offset measurement process includes, after completing the assembly of a resolver a resolver to a motor, rotating the motor by using a rotation device able to transfer a rotation force to the motor, setting a voltage instruction and current-controlling the motor according to the voltage instruction, and obtaining a d-axis current and a q-axis current, which are feedback currents, during the current-control of the motor. Then when the system is in a steady state, a resolver offset ({tilde over (?)}) is calculated from the d-axis current and the q-axis current by using {tilde over (?)}=tan?1(d-axis current/q-axis current).
