System and method for electronic creep on electrified vehicles

Abstract

A vehicle system for an electrified vehicle that implements electronic creep torque control includes an electric motor, a friction brake and a controller. The electric motor provides drive torque to a driveline that drives vehicle wheels. The friction brake applies a friction brake input to a vehicle wheel based on an input from a brake pedal. The controller: determines whether a creep mode is activated, the creep mode including an electric motor input to the driveline; determines, based on the creep mode being activated, whether a brake pedal input is received by the brake pedal; commands, based on the brake pedal input being received, the friction brake to apply a friction brake input; determines whether a speed of the electrified vehicle is zero; and commands, based on a determination that the electrified vehicle speed is zero, the electric motor to ramp out of the electric motor input.
