Creep torque feedback to improve controllably maneuvering a vehicle

A vehicle control system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory storing one or more instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
• determine whether defined conditions for controlling creep torque of a vehicle are met;
• and
• in response to determining that the defined conditions for controlling the creep torque are met, produce a control signal to:
• increase an input torque;
• cause the vehicle to increase speed towards a target creep-generated-vehicle-speed;
• detect a brake of the vehicle being engaged;
• in response to detecting the brake being engaged, setting the input torque to a first input torque that occurred in association with the detecting the brake being engaged.

A vehicle control system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory storing one or more instructions, which when executed cause the processor to:
• determine whether defined conditions for controlling creep torque of a vehicle are met, where whether the defined conditions for controlling creep torque are met is determined by:
• determining whether a vehicle acceleration is lower than a threshold acceleration;
• determining whether a vehicle speed is lower than a threshold speed;
• determining whether a brake of the vehicle is engaged;
• and
• determining whether an accelerator is engaged;
• wherein
• if the brake is determined to be engaged, then determining that the defined conditions are not met;
• if the accelerator is determined to be engaged, then determining that the defined conditions are not met;
• if the vehicle acceleration is determined to be above the threshold acceleration, then determining that the defined conditions are not met;
• and
• if the vehicle speed is determined to be greater than the threshold speed, then determining that the defined conditions are not met;
• and
• in response to the defined conditions being met, produce a control signal
• to increase an input torque, and
• to cause the vehicle to reach a target creep-generated-vehicle-speed,
• wherein after the defined conditions for controlling the creep torque are met, an acceleration that is applied is selectable by applying the brake at a selected acceleration, wherein after the applying the brake to select the acceleration, the input torque is set to produce the selected acceleration when the brake is no longer being applied.
