  • Powertrain torque control method and system
    Patent number: 11691616
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving torque control of a vehicle that includes simulated shifting of a step gear ratio transmission. In one example, a propulsive effort request is gradually incrementally increased or decreased to provide a smooth torque transition, thereby providing a smoother vehicle speed change and improve vehicle drivability.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for monitoring a propulsive effort request
    Patent number: 11220268
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring and determining a propulsion request are described. In one example, the propulsion request is evaluated according to two separate plausibility checks. The plausibility checks may include comparing a monitor propulsion request against the propulsion request and comparing the monitor propulsion request against a wheel torque.

  • Wheel torque estimation in a powertrain for a hybrid electric vehicle
    Patent number: 7203578
    Abstract: A method for estimating traction wheel torque in a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain that does not require a torque sensor. The method relies upon variables including speed, torque, moments of inertia and angular acceleration of powertrain components. Separate strategy routines are used for a parallel operating mode and for a non-parallel operating mode.

  • Adaptive PID control method and system for internal combustion engine rotation speed pulsation damping
    Patent number: 6591808
    Abstract: Within both a method for operating an internal combustion engine and a system for operating the internal combustion engine there is provided an engine rotation speed pulsation damping within the internal combustion engine through use of a PID controller which varies a single PID control parameter, particularly, KD to provide the engine rotation speed pulsation damping within the internal combustion engine. Within both the method and the system there is also provided a pair of control algorithms for use within the PID controller such as to effect the desired engine rotation speed pulsation damping when operating the internal combustion engine.
