  • Patent number: 11926310
    Abstract: Controlling a speed limit includes determining a virtual vehicle speed as being a lower one of a vehicle speed and a target limit speed, determining a virtual APS value as being a larger one of a first APS value and a second APS value, transitioning to a second mode at a point in time at which an actual APS value and the second APS value become different, when it is expected to transition to the second mode, among a first mode for sustaining a SOC of a battery at the target limit speed and the second mode for depleting the SOC, and determining a transmission gear position by applying the determined virtual vehicle speed and the determined virtual APS value to one of a first shifting pattern and a second shifting pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240067079
    Abstract: A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.

  • Patent number: 11912168
    Abstract: An apparatus and method control regenerative braking torque of an electric vehicle on which an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is mounted. The apparatus and method can compensate the regenerative braking torque of the driving motor based on the behavior model of the electric vehicle, such that the ABS is prevented from entering an operating range to the maximum limit to maximize the energy recovery rate through regenerative braking. The apparatus includes a disturbance extractor that extracts a disturbance in a specific frequency band from a difference between a behavior model and an actual behavior of the electric vehicle. The apparatus includes a torque compensator that compensates for the regenerative braking torque based on the disturbance extracted by the disturbance extractor.
