  • Publication number: 20230331203
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a vehicle on a reduced traction surface are disclosed. A controller of the vehicle obtains at least one of: ambient information or GPS information, determines a derate increment size based on the ambient or GPS information, imposes a sustained derate by applying a torque limit on a braking torque of the vehicle based on the derate increment size in response to detecting a traction control event. The controller also determines a verification period and a derate reduction period based on the ambient or GPS information to reduce the sustained derate in response to detecting a lack of traction control event during the verification period at a rate determined by the derate reduction period.

  • Publication number: 20230264693
    Abstract: A control system for controlling a powertrain of an electric or hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The powertrain comprises a battery and a traction motor and is operable in a regenerative braking mode. The control system is configured to generate a deceleration target for the vehicle in the regenerative braking mode, and to generate a torque command for the traction motor based on the deceleration target. By generating a deceleration target for the vehicle during regenerative braking and using the deceleration target to control the torque of the traction motor, more consistent regenerative braking may be provided, particularly when the vehicle is used to carry different loads.
