Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for controlling a torque generator of a vehicle. The control system is configured to receive one or more electrical signals indicative of a surface indicator; receive one or more electrical signals indicative of a deceleration demand; select a surface type from a plurality of predetermined surface types based on said one or more electrical signals indicative of a surface indicator; determine a target vehicle deceleration in dependence on the selected surface type; determine, based on said one or more electrical signals indicative of a deceleration demand, a requirement to decelerate the vehicle; and in dependence on determining said requirement, output a control signal to the torque generator. The control signal is configured to cause the torque generator to provide the target vehicle deceleration.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system for a vehicle. The control system comprises one or more controllers, and is configured to select a relationship between torque and speed based, at least in part, on a determined terrain mode. The control system is further configured to control a drive torque of the vehicle in accordance with the selected relationship between torque and speed when the vehicle is operating in a creep control mode. The vehicle may be a hybrid or electric vehicle and the terrain mode may be determined from a Terrain Response™ switch input or automatically determined.
