  • Patent number: 10343544
    Abstract: A method of controlling charging of a battery connected to a wheel driving motor for a hybrid vehicle is disclosed. The method comprises detecting battery charging information when a battery is charged; learning a state of health (SOH) of the battery by using the battery charging information; calculating a battery charging current by using the learned SOH; and controlling charging of the battery using the battery charging current.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180079295
    Abstract: A method for controlling an active air flap (AAF) based on an aerodynamic force gain may include an AAF optimization cooling-related mode in which the AAF is configured to be controlled to operate in an AAF open state or an AAF close state to match a detected ambient temperature and a detected vehicle speed when an operation of a heating device is detected by a controller during vehicle traveling.

  • Patent number: 9610952
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a creep torque of a vehicle includes: a driving system configured to deliver power to one or more wheels equipped in a vehicle; and a control unit configured to i) determine a driving mode of the vehicle, ii) calculate a creep torque based on a regenerative braking ratio of the vehicle while driving for a threshold time, and iii) control the driving system based on the calculated creep torque to convert the driving mode.
