Abstract
A slip control system is described that, in response to unacceptable drive slip, reduces the torque of the drive unit of the vehicle. Upon recognition of driving over a rough section of road, the torque reduction is configured to be less and/or of shorter duration than is the case during normal operation.
Claims8
A slip control system comprising:
- an arrangement for providing a torque reduction with respect to a torque of a drive unit of a vehicle in response to an excessive slip of a driven wheel;
- an arrangement for increasing the torque to a value set by a driver after a stabilization of the driven wheel;
- an arrangement for recognizing a driving over a rough section of road;
- and
- an arrangement for configuring the torque reduction to be at least one of less in magnitude and of a shorter duration than is the case apart from the rough section of road, when driving over the rough section of road.
2 more elements
A slip control system, comprising:
- an arrangement for increasing a torque of a vehicle drive unit when an incipient wheel lock at at least one driven wheel occurs;
- an arrangement for changing the torque to a value set by a driver after a stabilization of the at least one driven wheel;
- an arrangement for recognizing a driving over a rough section of road;
- and
- an arrangement for configuring an increase in the torque to be at least one of less in magnitude and of a shorter duration than is the case apart from the rough section of road when driving over the rough section of road.
2 more elements
A slip control system, comprising:
- an arrangement for disengaging a controllable clutch in a drive train of a vehicle when one of an incipient wheel lock and a wheel spin at at least one driven wheel occurs;
- an arrangement for re-engaging the controllable clutch after a stabilization of the at least one driven wheel;
- and
- an arrangement for recognizing a driving over a rough section of road, wherein:
- the controllable clutch is engaged when driving over the rough section of road.
