Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes a first traveling motor, a second traveling motor, and a control system. The control system estimates a first friction coefficient between a first wheel and a road surface and a second friction coefficient between a second wheel and a road surface. When the vehicle starts in a situation in which any of the first and second friction coefficients is less than a first threshold and a difference between the first and second friction coefficients is greater than a second threshold, the control system increases a power running torque of the first traveling motor after elapse of a first delay time after increasing a power running torque of the second traveling motor, if the first friction coefficient is smaller than the second friction coefficient. The first delay time is set on the basis of the first friction coefficient.

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.

Abstract: In a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle including a motor configured to apply a regenerative braking force to a wheel, a braking force controlling portion controls torque of the motor such that the motor generates a regenerative braking force corresponding to a requested braking force requested to the vehicle. When the wheel locks during braking, the braking force controlling portion executes an antilock control in which the torque of the motor is controlled such that the lock of the wheel is restrained. An acquisition portion acquires the deceleration speed of the vehicle. A derivation portion derives an expected deceleration speed for the vehicle based on the requested braking force. In a case where the braking force controlling portion executes the antilock control, the braking force controlling portion controls vibration of the motor based on the difference between the expected deceleration speed and the deceleration speed.
