Utility
Techniques for detecting and monitoring unintended powertrain propulsive torque in hybrid vehicles
31 Aug 20
A control system and method for a hybrid vehicle involve controlling a hybrid powertrain comprising an engine and a transmission having one or more electric motors and not comprising a decoupling mechanism therebetween, detecting an operating condition where the transmission is in neutral and the vehicle is moving at a speed less than a low speed threshold, and in response to detecting the operating condition: determining a desired propulsive torque of the powertrain, determining an actual propulsive torque at the driveline, calculating a torque difference between the actual and desired propulsive torques over a period, comparing the calculated torque difference to a first movement threshold, and when the calculated torque difference exceeds the first movement threshold, applying an electric parking brake (EPB) of the vehicle.

Utility
Turbocharger surge management control techniques to eliminate surge valve
31 Aug 20
A control system and method for an engine including a turbocharger without a surge valve involve utilizing one or more pressure sensors configured to measure air pressure in an intake system of the engine, the intake system comprising a compressor of the turbocharger and a throttle valve downstream from the compressor, and a controller configured to control the engine to avoid surge at the compressor and eliminate a need for the surge valve by determining a desired position for the throttle valve based on a driver requested engine torque, determining a minimum mass flow through the compressor that avoids surge based on the measured air pressure in the intake system and a predetermined compressor map, and commanding the throttle valve to a target position to maintain at least the minimum compressor mass flow, wherein the target position is greater than the desired position, thereby avoiding surge at the compressor.

Utility
Transmission braking for vehicle speed control
24 Aug 20
A vehicle transmission braking mode comprises determining a set of available clutches of the plurality of clutches that are not being utilized for engagement of a particular forward gear of the plurality of forward gears, determining at least one of a modeled temperature, a measured temperature, and a modeled energy of each clutch of the set of available clutches to obtain a set of at least one of clutch temperatures and energies, and based on at least the set of available clutches and the set of at least one of clutch temperatures and energies, selectively operate the transmission in the transmission braking mode by at least partially applying at least one clutch of the set of available clutches to mitigate or prevent powerflow through the transmission and thereby decrease or maintain a speed of the vehicle and/or reduce acceleration of the vehicle.

Utility
Systems and methods for programming a gear shift sequence for a custom shift mode of an automatic transmission
24 Aug 20
Control systems and methods for a vehicle automatic transmission utilize a driver interface configured to receive input from a driver of the vehicle relating to a custom shift mode of the automatic transmission and a controller configured to monitor a driving history of the vehicle and, based on the driving history, determine a reduced shift sequence for the transmission to utilize during the custom shift mode, the reduced shift sequence specifying a subset of available forward gears of the transmission to utilize during the custom shift mode, the subset of gears being less than a total number of available forward gears of the transmission, such that one or more available forward gears are skipped in the reduced shift sequence, initiate the custom shift mode for the transmission, and during the custom shift mode, control shifting of the transmission according to the reduced shift sequence.
