SLIP DETERMINATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

摘要

A slip determination system for a vehicle, which is capable of improving the determination accuracy by avoiding erroneous determination of excessive slip of wheels when a state of the wheels, driven/braked by motors, is switched. In the slip determination system according to the present invention, when first and second motor rotational speeds NMOT1 and NMOT2, which are rotational speeds of rear motors which brake/drive rear wheels WRL and WRR, reach a reference rotational speed NMREF set based on wheel rotational speeds NWFL, NWFR, NWRL, and NWRR, it is determined that excessive slip has occurred in the rear wheels WRL and WRR. When the sign of a target torque TROBJ of the rear motors is inverted, the reference rotational speed NMREF is changed to a value more difficult to be reached by the first and second motor rotational speeds NMOT1 and NMOT2, or the excessive slip determination is inhibited.

1. A slip determination system for a vehicle, for determining whether or not excessive slip which is slip not smaller than a predetermined one occurs in a wheel which is mechanically connected to a motor, and is driven or braked by the motor, comprising:
wheel speed parameter-acquiring means for acquiring a wheel speed parameter indicative of a speed of one of the wheel and the motor; basic speed parameter-acquiring means for acquiring a basic speed parameter indicative of at least one of a speed of the vehicle and a speed of other wheel which is different from the wheel; threshold value-setting means for setting a threshold value which serves as a reference for determination of the excessive slip, based on the acquired basic speed parameter; slip determining means for determining that the excessive slip has occurred in the wheel when the acquired wheel speed parameter reaches the set threshold value; braking/driving force-acquiring means for acquiring a braking/driving force of the motor for driving or braking the wheel; and threshold value-changing means for changing the threshold value to a second threshold value which is used at the time of an inversion of the braking/driving force, and which is more difficult to be reached by the wheel speed parameter than the threshold value, when the sign of the acquired braking/driving force of the motor is inverted.
