  • Patent number: 10752236
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling gear shift of a hybrid vehicle prevent frequent gear shift by adjusting output of a driving motor or a gear shift time point of a transmission based on road condition or vehicle state while the hybrid vehicle is driven in a specific road condition or a specific vehicle state in a HEV mode. The apparatus includes a driving state detector that detects a road condition and a vehicle state and a controller that receives the road condition and the vehicle state from the driving state detector to differentiate and select a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode into a normal mode and a compensation mode. The controller adjusts the output of a driving motor or a gear shift time point of a transmission according to different conditions from the driving state detector in the compensation mode.

  • Publication number: 20200023749
    Abstract: A method for controlling a state of charge of an electric power storage device for a motor-driven vehicle without a reverse gear includes providing a plurality of driving sources but does not include a reverse gear and implements backward driving of the vehicle by reversely driving a motor as one of the driving sources, and further includes determining whether or not backward uphill driving is necessary, monitoring the state of charge of the electric power storage device when it is determined that the backward uphill driving is necessary, and controlling the state of charge of the electric power storage device based on the monitored state of charge of the electric power storage device.

  • Patent number: 9796374
    Abstract: An overheat prevention method includes an rpm comparison step of comparing an engine revolution per minute (rpm) speed with a preset rpm speed by a controller when requiring an engagement of an engine clutch, a temperature comparison step of comparing a temperature of a transmission clutch with a preset temperature by the controller when it is determined that the engine rpm speed is less than the preset rpm speed at the rpm comparison step, and a serial drive mode control step of releasing the engine clutch and engaging the transmission clutch, and controlling a hybrid starter generator (HSG) to charge a battery using engine power to provide driving power to a motor by the controller when it is determined that the temperature of the transmission clutch is higher than the preset temperature at the temperature comparison step.

  • Patent number: 9446762
    Abstract: A shift control system and method of a hybrid vehicle are provided and controlled by dualizing a brake shift pattern based on whether an engine clutch release is possible when a hybrid vehicle brake is engaged. The system includes a hybrid controller that is configured to detect whether engine clutch release is possible, based on battery state information and input data from a operation. In addition, a shift controller is configured to execute a gear shift by a brake shift pattern based on whether the engine clutch release is possible.
