    摘要: A control apparatus for an all-wheel drive vehicle that includes (i) a power source, (ii) a power distribution device for distributing a power from the power source to front and rear wheels, (iii) a differential limiting mechanism for placing the power distribution device in a differential limiting state in which a rotational difference between the front wheels and the rear wheels is limited, and (iv) a braking device for applying a wheel braking torque to each of the front and rear wheels. When the power distribution device is placed in the differential limiting state and the wheel braking torque is applied to each of the front wheels and the rear wheels, a torque limiting control is executed for setting an upper limit value of a torque of the power source to a smaller value when the wheel braking torque is large than when the wheel braking torque is small.

    摘要: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system for controlling torque distribution between a first axle (110) and a second axle (120) in a vehicle (100), the control system comprising one or more controllers. The control system is configured to detect that the vehicle is in overrun and detect the vehicle speed. When the vehicle is in overrun and the vehicle speed is below a first speed threshold then the torque distribution is controlled to reduce overrun torque to the first axle and to increase overrun torque to the second axle. The vehicle may be a hybrid vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine (ICE) (201), a belt integrated starter generator (B-ISG) (205) and an electric rear axle drive (ERAD) (204).

    摘要: An off-road vehicle includes a driveline, a control system, and a braking system. The driveline provides driveline power and driveline brake power to a first tractive assembly and/or a second tractive assembly. The control system stores vehicle information, determines driving instructions based on environment data, and determines speed references for tractive elements of the first and second tractive assemblies based on the driving instructions and the vehicle information. The braking system includes brakes and a braking subsystem. The brake subsystem operates the brakes to provide brake power to one or more components of the first and/or second tractive assemblies. The brake controller controls the brakes to selectively provide the brake power and the control system controls the driveline to selectively provide the driveline power and the driveline brake power based on current speeds of the tractive elements and the speed references to accommodate the driving instructions.
