  • Patent number: 10507822
    Abstract: A method of decreasing vibration during release of a stop gear of a vehicle can be applied to an eco-friendly vehicle for decreasing vibration generated when a driver releases a P step of a gear lever while torsion occurs in a drive shaft of the vehicle. Reaction force torque of a driving motor is controlled so as to output reaction force that has been generated in a parking sprag by a driving motor when torsion occurs in the drive shaft after entrance of the gear lever into the P step, so as to decrease vibration generated because torsion reaction force of the drive shaft vanishes at the same time.

  • Patent number: 9738269
    Abstract: A motor speed control method and system for improving the performance of a running resistance evaluation of a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. The method includes determining whether a vehicle satisfies a running resistance evaluation start condition. When the vehicle satisfies the running resistance evaluation start condition, the speed of a motor is adjusted, which adjusts an input speed of a transmission to be equal to an output speed of the transmission. A speed adjustment of the motor is then completed using the speed of the motor and the output speed of the transmission.
