  • Patent number: 11794761
    Abstract: A user input signal management method for a vehicle provided with a prime mover having an output that rotates and an input for a user input signal that controls the rotating speed of the output of the prime mover. The method including the reception of a signal representative of the position of a user input of a vehicle, the reception of data representative of at least one condition of the vehicle, the modification of the received signal representative of the position of the user input as a function of the data received and the supply of the modified signal to the accelerator input of the prime mover.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11739802
    Abstract: Clutch temperature management in a slip control method and arrangement for a drivetrain including a continuously variable transmission is described herein. The drivetrain includes a clutch that is so controlled as to slip when a torque higher than the usable torque attempts to pass through. The temperature data from the clutch is used to determine the usable torque. Accordingly, the clutch prevents the prime mover from stalling.

  • Publication number: 20220348205
    Abstract: A compression-based speed limiting for a driveline including a transmission is described herein. The driveline controller detects over speeding and controls the ratio of the transmission to therefore increase compression of the prime mover and therefore limit speed.

  • Patent number: 11401987
    Abstract: The control of the engagement rate of a clutch in a driveline is described herein. The clutch engagement rate is determined using at least one parameter of the driveline. An illustrative example where the parameters include the slipping level of the clutch and the rotational speed at the output of the clutch is described herein.

  • Patent number: 11143295
    Abstract: A calibration method for a slip control arrangement of a driveline including a continuously variable transmission is described herein. The driveline includes a clutch that is so controlled as to slip when a torque higher than the usable torque attempts to pass through. Accordingly, the clutch prevents the prime mover from stalling. A calibration method to link a valve command value and a torque allowed to pass through the clutch includes preventing the vehicle from moving and increasing the pressure applied in the clutch while noting the torque % value developed by the prime mover.

  • Patent number: 11022216
    Abstract: A drivetrain control and a method for controlling a drivetrain where the actual engine torque of the prime mover is taken into account are described herein. Illustrative embodiments include control systems and methods where the ratio set point of the CVT and/or the rate of the CVT ratio change are modified according to the actual engine torque of the prime mover.
