  • Vehicle control system and method
    Patent number: 10272918
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relates to a vehicle control system (1) for controlling a vehicle transfer case (3). The transfer case (3) is operable in a high range and a low range. The vehicle control system (1) is configured to output a range change signal to implement a transfer case range change. The vehicle control system (1) also outputs a brake control signal for controlling vehicle braking during the range change. The present invention also relates to a vehicle (5) and a related method of operating a vehicle control system (1) and optionally also a transmission (7).
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle control system and method
    Patent number: 10197154
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a vehicle control system (1) for controlling a vehicle transfer case (3). The transfer case (3) is operable in a high range and a low range. The vehicle control system (1) is configured to determine an operating range for the transfer case (3) based on a selected vehicle operating mode. A range change signal is output to implement a range change to engage the determined operating range. The present invention also relates to a vehicle (5) and a related method of operating a vehicle control system (1).

  • Vehicle control system and method
    Patent number: 10030768
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relates to a vehicle control system (1) for controlling a vehicle transfer case (3). The transfer case (3) is operable in a high range and a low range. The vehicle control system (1) includes a selection means (21) for selecting first and second control strategies for the transfer case. The first and second control strategies are based on an activation time of the selection means (21). A further aspect of the present invention relates to a vehicle control system (1) for implementing a deferred transfer case range change. The present invention also relates to a vehicle (5) and a related method of operating a vehicle control system (1).
