Publication number: 20220258723Abstract: A motor vehicle includes first and second drive axles coupled to respective sets of road wheels, torque actuators inclusive of rotary electric machines configured to transmit respective output torques to the drive axles, and a main controller in communication with the torque actuators. The controller receives vehicle inputs indicative of a total longitudinal and lateral motion request. In response, the controller calculates a total longitudinal torque request and/or a total longitudinal speed request, a yaw rate request, and a lateral velocity request, then determines, using a cost optimization function, a torque vector for allocating the total longitudinal torque request and/or speed request, the yaw rate request, and the lateral velocity request to the drive axles within predetermined constraints. The controller also transmits a closed-loop control signal to each torque actuator or local controllers thereof to apply the torque vector via the drive axles.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Yiran Hu, Ruixing Long, Kevin J. Storch, Robert C. Gibson, Bharath Pattipati, Paul G. Otanez

Patent number: 10513992Abstract: A method of operating a split intake D-EGR (dedicated exhaust gas recirculation) engine having at least one D-EGR cylinder and a number of non-EGR cylinders. If the engine is in a low load operating condition, either of two cylinder deactivation modes may be performed. In first cylinder deactivation mode, the D-EGR cylinder(s) are deactivated by disabling fuel delivery to the D-EGR cylinder(s), closing a D-EGR throttle, closing a D-EGR valve, and operating a three-way valve on the main exhaust line such that no exhaust from the D-EGR cylinder(s) is exhausted. In a second cylinder deactivation mode, the non-EGR cylinders are deactivated by disabling fuel delivery to the non-EGR cylinders, opening the D-EGR throttle, closing the D-EGR valve, and operating the three-way valve such that no exhaust from the main cylinders is exhausted.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Southwest Research InstituteInventors: Raphael Gukelberger, Steven Almaraz, Forest C.
