US 2022/0032899 A1 · APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE UTILIZING TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Abstract

A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a driving motor configured to drive the vehicle by outputting motor torque based on a supply voltage from a battery, and an engine configured to drive the vehicle by outputting engine torque. The control apparatus may acquire driving mode data which is calculated based on traffic information from the current position to the destination of the vehicle and dimension information of the vehicle, and control the vehicle to drive to the destination according to a driving mode which is determined by applying a travelling condition of the vehicle to the acquired driving mode data, where the power distribution ratio of the motor torque to the engine torque is reflected in the driving mode data.

A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle which includes a driving motor configured to drive the vehicle by outputting motor torque based on a supply voltage from a battery, and an engine configured to drive the vehicle by outputting engine torque, the apparatus comprising:

the control apparatus configured to acquire driving mode data which is calculated based on traffic information from a current position to a destination of the vehicle and dimension information of the vehicle, and control the vehicle to drive to the destination according to a driving mode which is determined by applying a travelling condition of the vehicle to the acquired driving mode data,
wherein a power distribution ratio of the motor torque to the engine torque is reflected in the driving mode data.

a driving mode data calculation unit configured to calculate driving mode data in which a power distribution ratio of the motor torque to the engine torque is reflected, based on traffic information from a current position to a destination of the vehicle and dimension information of the vehicle;
and
a driving control unit configured to control the vehicle to drive to the destination according to a driving mode which is determined by applying a travelling condition of the vehicle to the driving mode data calculated by the driving mode data calculation unit.

A method for controlling a vehicle which includes a driving motor configured to drive the vehicle by outputting motor torque based on a supply voltage from a battery, and an engine configured to drive the vehicle by outputting engine torque, the method comprising:

acquiring, by a driving control unit, driving mode data which is calculated based on traffic information from a current position to a destination of the vehicle and dimension information of the vehicle, wherein a power distribution ratio of the motor torque to the engine torque is reflected in the driving mode data;
deciding, by the driving control unit, a driving mode of the vehicle by applying a travelling condition of the vehicle to the acquired driving mode data;
and
controlling, by the driving control unit, the vehicle to be driven to the destination according to the determined driving mode.
