Abstract:
A wheel stability control system for an electric vehicle including an electric motor, a drive inverter, and an electronic control unit (ECU) including a computer readable, non-transitory memory (memory) and an electronic processing unit (EPU). The memory stores information including an optimal acceleration and deceleration curve and the electrical characteristics of the electric motor. The EPU calculates the electrical moment of the electric motor from inputs from the drive inverter and the electrical characteristics of the electric motor. The ECU compares the electrical moment and the angular speed of the motor with the optimal acceleration and deceleration curve, and if the acceleration or deceleration of the electric motor is out of a predetermined range when compared to the optimal acceleration and the optimal deceleration, it reduces the electrical moment applied by the electric motor.

Abstract:
An electric vehicle includes an in-wheel motor drive system. The in-wheel motor drive system includes a wheel bearing unit rotatably supporting a drive wheel, a motor unit, and a reducer unit. The electric vehicle also includes a disturbance observer that determines an estimate of external force influence on the drive wheel. The electric vehicle further includes a slip level-responsive corrector. The slip level-responsive corrector may use the estimate of external force influence, calculate a correction value that may correspond to slip level of the drive wheel, and correct an accelerator signal to the motor unit with the correction value to produce a motor torque command value.
Abstract:
A control device includes a PWM control unit that executes PWM control over an alternating-current motor mounted on a vehicle. The PWM control unit includes an alarm sound generation processing unit and a slip determination unit. The slip determination unit determines whether a drive wheel coupled to the alternating-current motor is slipping on the basis. of a d-axis current (Id), a q-axis current (Iq), a d-axis voltage command value (Vd) and a q-axis voltage command value (Vq) of the alternating-current motor. When the drive wheel is not slipping, the alarm sound generation processing unit generates an alarm sound from the alternating-current motor by adding a variation value (ΔV) to the d-axis voltage command value (Vd) at a predetermined interval. When the drive wheel is slipping, the alarm sound generation processing unit temporarily stops adding the variation value (ΔV) to the d-axis voltage command value (Vd).
Abstract:
Provided is a controlling device for a railway electric car, the controlling device being able to detect a slipping/sliding phenomenon during, in particular, high-speed travel and to exercise slipping/sliding control in an appropriate manner. A slip controlling unit 1 includes a first adhesion level index generating unit and a second adhesion level index generating unit. In a normal slipping state in which an acceleration changes instantaneously, torque control is exercised by using a first adhesion level index generated by the first adhesion level index generating unit based on an acceleration deviation and a speed deviation. In a slipping state during high-speed travel, because the acceleration deviation and the speed deviation are small, torque control is exercised by using a second adhesion level index generated by multiplying the first adhesion level index by a gain equal to or smaller than 1 generated by the second adhesion level index generating unit.
Abstract:
A drive system for vehicles, especially for commercial vehicles such as agricultural or industrial tractors, the vehicle having at least one first wheel that is driven by an associated axle or single-wheel drive motor and at least one second wheel, in the drive train of which a gearbox that can be shifted between at least two speed transmission steps is arranged. To avoid vehicle speed drops while shifting the change-speed gearbox and to avoid interfering shifting jolts, it is suggested to provide a device for the detection of a shift command and a control unit, which in the presence of a shift command automatically applies a greater load at least on the drive motor driving the first wheel, controls the shifting operation of the change-speed gearbox of the second wheel and then lowers the load of the drive motor driving the first wheel.

Abstract:
A method controls regenerative braking for a vehicle equipped with regenerative brakes and with a separate braking apparatus. The vehicle includes at least one first wheel and at least one second wheel. The separate braking apparatus is applied to the at least one first wheel and to the at least one second wheel. The regenerative brakes are applied to the at least one first wheel only. The method includes receiving a speed value of the first wheel and a speed value of the second wheel, estimating a value of a parameter representing a slip associated with the regenerative braking as a function of the speed value of the first wheel and as a function of the speed value of the second wheel, and forming a regenerative braking setpoint value as a function of the estimated value of the parameter representing slip associated with the regenerative braking.
