  • Publication number: 20240123995
    Abstract: A traction control method for a vehicle provided with a torque vectoring apparatus including a torque vectoring motor includes determining, by first and second controllers, whether a current situation is a split-? situation occurring when the vehicle is driven on a split road surface, based on vehicle driving information collected in the vehicle, determining and creating, by the second controller, a target speed for control of a slip wheel speed when both controllers determine the split-? situation, and transmitting the target speed from the second controller to the first controller, generating, by the first controller, a torque command for the torque vectoring motor for slip wheel speed control to follow the target speed received from the second controller, and controlling, by the first controller, operation of the torque vectoring motor in accordance with the torque command.

  • Patent number: 11801760
    Abstract: A method for controlling torque vectoring of an xEV includes detecting vehicle speed information using speed sensors mounted in the xEV, and estimating a vehicle speed of the xEV in driving based on the detected vehicle speed information, setting a state of the xEV based on the estimated vehicle speed, determining whether there is an intervention request based on the set state of the xEV, detecting a steering angle of the xEV when the intervention request is rejected, and when the detected steering angle of the xEV is within a predetermined reference angle range, determining the xEV as being in a first slip state in which the xEV slips in a longitudinal direction, and resetting the vehicle speed of the xEV through output of a torque vectoring (TV) motor mounted in the xEV.
