    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for operating a vehicle during operating conditions where wheel slip may occur. In one example, a torque vectoring electric machine torque output is adjusted to direct propulsion torque from one wheel to a different wheel. Additionally, the propulsive torque is adjusted responsive to a driver demand wheel torque.

    摘要: An electric axle drive utilizes an electric motor to propel both half-shafts via final drive gearing and a differential. Torque vectoring gearing alters the torque distribution by transmitting power from one of the half shafts to the motor or from the motor to the half-shaft in response to engagement of brakes. Both the final drive gearing and the torque vectoring gearing are implemented using stepped planetary gear sets. The final drive gearing and differential are located on one end of the electric motor. The torque vectoring gearing is located on the opposite end of the electric motor.

    摘要: An electrified vehicle, system, and method include an electric machine, a traction battery coupled to the electric machine, and a controller programmed to control wheel slip to provide high wheel slip to traverse deformable terrain, such as sand or loose soil, and lower wheel slip to avoid excessive soil removal beneath the wheels after detecting a vertical acceleration or heave event, such as after landing when driving over a jump or bump. When vehicle vertical acceleration exceeds a first threshold, and a ratio of a wheel angular acceleration to vehicle longitudinal acceleration exceeds a second threshold, the electric machine is controlled to limit wheel slip to a lower value that provides sufficient tractive force to maintain some forward motion. Otherwise, the electric machine is controlled to limit wheel slip to a higher value to accommodate higher vehicle speeds over the deformable terrain.

    摘要: A vehicle electric torque vectoring system includes a traction motor, a vectoring motor, gears, and a controller. The gears transfer torque from the propulsion and vectoring motors to wheels. The controller, responsive to a step change in an unmodified torque request for the vectoring motor and a predicted torque response of the vectoring motor being greater than the unmodified torque request, commands the vectoring motor to generate torque with a modified torque request less than the unmodified torque request. The controller further, responsive to the predicted torque response becoming less than the unmodified torque request, commands the vectoring motor to generate torque with the unmodified torque request.
