Abstract: A method of controlling a torque vectoring mechanism that distributes torque between a left and a right wheel of a vehicle includes determining a reference yaw rate of the vehicle based on a speed and a steering angle of the vehicle and determining a first torque control value based on a yaw rate of the vehicle and the reference yaw rate. The method also includes: (i) determining longitudinal slip value for each of the left and right wheels, (ii) determining a combined slip value based on the longitudinal slip values, and (iii) determining a second torque control value based on the combined slip value. Further, the method includes determining a final torque control value based on the first torque control value and the second torque control value and distributing torque between the left and right wheels based on the final torque control value. A torque vectoring system is also provided.

Abstract: A method of controlling a torque vectoring mechanism and an associated torque vectoring system are disclosed. The method can distribute torque between a left non-driven wheel and a right non-driven wheel of a vehicle based on a torque control value. The torque control value can be based on a change in yaw moment about a center of gravity of the vehicle. The change in yaw moment can be determined based on a reduction of lateral force on a driven axle due to both longitudinal and lateral slip on the driven wheels.
