  • Patent number: 9114724
    Abstract: A control method of a vehicle having a motor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can include confirming that a speed of the motor is not 0 and an output torque thereof is 0 in a condition that the vehicle is being operated, confirming that a voltage of the motor converges to a regular value, and accumulating control data for the motor and processing the control data to calculate an offset value of a resolver. Accordingly, the control method of a vehicle effectively determines whether the offset of the resolver is to be compensated without affecting the drivability of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9077266
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a vehicle provided with a motor includes a current command generator that determines first and second axes currents according to driving conditions, and a current controller that generates first and second axes voltages by using the first and second axes currents and feedback currents. An axis converter converts the first and second axes voltages into 3-phase voltages, 3-phase feedback currents into first and second axes feedback currents, and transmits the same to the current controller. A pulse width modulation (PWM) generator receives the 3-phase voltages and generates corresponding 3-phase signals, and a PWM inverter generates 3-phase currents and transmits the same to the axis converter. A motor is driven by the 3-phase currents. A resolver detects a phase of the motor and transmits the same to the current command generator and the axis converter. A resolver offset determining unit calculates a resolver offset value.
