  • Patent number: 10532727
    Abstract: A method for controlling a full load mode of a hybrid vehicle by a controller may include: calculating driver demand torque based on acceleration pedal position sensor (APS) information or brake pedal position sensor (BPS) information; predicting the driver's acceleration/deceleration information based on the hybrid vehicle's driving information; predicting the driver demand torque based on the predicted acceleration/deceleration information; predicting a state of charge (SOC) of a battery that supplies electric power to a motor for driving the hybrid vehicle, based on the calculated driver demand torque and the predicted driver demand torque; and controlling an engine for charging the battery based on the predicted battery SOC, in order to keep the hybrid vehicle from entering into the full load mode in which the engine configured to produce a maximum torque and the motor are used.

  • Patent number: 9981653
    Abstract: A system and a method for reducing exhaust gas of a hybrid electric vehicle are disclosed. A system for reducing exhaust gas of a hybrid electric vehicle according to an exemplary form of the present disclosure may include: a battery management system measuring a state of charge (SOC) of a high voltage battery of the hybrid electric vehicle; a motor control unit controlling a driving motor with power of the high voltage battery to generate motor driving force; an engine control unit controlling an engine to generate engine driving force; and a hybrid control unit checking an all electric range (AER) according to a driving in a charge depleting (CD) mode of the hybrid electric vehicle to perform a catalyst heating and warm up control by starting the engine in the CD mode in the case in which the checked AER exceeds a reference AER.

  • Patent number: 9771058
    Abstract: A control method of a hybrid vehicle may include performing a series of commands by a control portion including determining whether an accelerator pedal change amount detected by an accelerator pedal sensor is greater than a predetermined value, starting up an engine through a Hybrid Shaft Generator (HSG) during conversion into an HEV mode from an EV mode, controlling the engine to output constant torque, and synchronizing engine torque with motor torque to engage a clutch.

  • Patent number: 9714024
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a navigation device that provides information regarding a gradient, a speed limit, and a traffic speed of a road. An accelerator pedal position detector detects a position of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal position detector detects a position of a brake pedal. A vehicle speed detector detects a vehicle speed, a state of charge (SOC) detector detects an SOC of a battery, and a gear stage detector detects a gear stage that is currently engaged. A controller operates the hybrid vehicle based on signals of the navigation device, the accelerator pedal position detector, the brake pedal position detector, the vehicle speed detector, the SOC detector, and the gear stage detector.

  • Publication number: 20160304077
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle is provided that includes a battery, a motor that is configured to generate a driving torque using the battery, and an engine that is configured to charge the battery or generate a driving torque together with the motor. A driving controller operates the motor and the engine and an air conditioning controller executes a heat function by a heat of an engine coolant and transmits an engine-drive-requiring signal to the driving controller to heat the engine coolant. When a first condition that a temperature of the engine coolant is greater than a first temperature and a second condition that a driving torque generated by the motor is sufficient to move the hybrid vehicle are satisfied, the engine operation is stopped by a time that a driving torque generated by the engine is required to move the hybrid vehicle regardless of receiving the engine-drive-requiring signal.
