Abstract
A computer system includes processing circuitry for controlling a torque provided by a motor of a powertrain system of a vehicle. The powertrain system is configured to provide a physical total gear ratio, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine a virtual total gear ratio for the powertrain system based on one or more operational parameters of the vehicle, and cause control of the torque provided by the motor based on the virtual total gear ratio.
Claims20
A computer system comprising processing circuitry for controlling a torque provided by a motor of a powertrain system of a vehicle, the powertrain system being configured to provide a physical total gear ratio, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- determine a virtual total gear ratio for the powertrain system based on one or more operational parameters of the vehicle, and
- cause control of the torque provided by the motor based on the virtual total gear ratio.
A computer-implemented method for controlling the torque provided by a motor of a powertrain system of a vehicle, the powertrain system being configured to provide a physical total gear ratio, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processing circuitry of a computer system, a virtual total gear ratio for the powertrain system based on one or more operational parameters of the vehicle and causing control of the torque provided by motor based on the virtual total gear ratio, by the processing circuitry.
