  • Tractive force map
    Patent number: 7769520
    Abstract: A method of controlling tractive force of a vehicle comprising determining a tractive force request of a driver of the vehicle, determining an actual tractive force of the vehicle, and modifying the actual tractive force of the vehicle to be equal to the tractive force request.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2010
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Jan Ryderstam, Soren Eriksson
  • Vehicle control
    Patent number: 7212896
    Abstract: A vehicle control system (10) including a vehicle motion control subsystem (12) that has an input receiving an intended driving demand (14) and a plurality of coordinator subsystems (16) for coordinating actuators of the vehicle. The vehicle motion control subsystem (12) communicates with the coordinator subsystems (16) to determine whether a single coordinator subsystem (16) can carry out the intended driving demand (14). The vehicle motion control subsystem (12) will distribute demand signals among one or more of the coordinator subsystems (16) to allow the vehicle to implement the intended driving demand (14).
