Driving system for electric vehicle and control method thereof

A driving system for a vehicle, the driving system comprising:

• a motor;
• a shift assembly engaged to the motor and receiving power from the motor, wherein the shift assembly includes a plurality of shift gears using a plurality of meshed external gear pairs;
• a clutch mounted between the motor and the shift assembly and configured to selectively transfer the power from the motor to the shift assembly;
• a gear lever allowing a driver to sequentially select a plurality of assigned positions that are discontinuously disposed;
• a position sensor configured to detect the assigned positions to which the gear lever sequentially moves, on a basis of continuous changes in physical quantities of the position sensor according to the plurality of assigned positions;
• a clutch actuator configured to actuate the clutch;
• a shift actuator configured to actuate the shift assembly to change gear shifts;
• and
• a controller connected to the clutch actuator, the shift actuator, and the motor and configured for controlling the clutch actuator, the shift actuator, and the motor to change the gear shifts by receiving signals from the position sensor,
• wherein the position sensor includes a contactless magnetic flux sensor configured not to be in direct contact with the gear lever, wherein magnetic flux density of the contactless magnetic flux sensor continuously changes in a response to a displacement of the gear lever.
