Method and system for controlling acceleration torque of hybrid vehicle

A system for controlling acceleration torque to manage a state of charge (SOC) of a battery of a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

• an accelerator pedal position detector detecting a position of an accelerator pedal;
• a vehicle speed detector detecting vehicle speed;
• an SOC detector detecting SOC of the battery;
• an environmental variable detector detecting engine environmental variables and motor environmental variables;
• and
• a control portion configured to set a creep torque as a minimum torque, calculate a maximum torque of the hybrid vehicle according to the engine environmental variables and the motor environmental variables, and calculate an acceleration torque by using the position of the accelerator pedal, the minimum torque, and the maximum torque of the vehicle,
• wherein the motor environmental variables include motor temperature and the SOC of the battery,
• wherein the engine environmental variables include an altitude of the vehicle, engine friction torque, and engine oil temperature, and
• wherein the control portion is configured to calculate an engine division torque and a motor division torque which the engine and the motor respectively output, using the acceleration torque and is configured to control the engine and the motor using the engine division torque and the motor division torque to manage the SOC of the battery at an optimal level.
