VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL

摘要

A method of setting a vehicle in motion over a driving surface and/or maintaining motion of said vehicle over the driving surface implemented by a control system, said method comprising initiating motion control, initiating motion control comprising: commanding by the control system application of brake torque and drive torque to one or more wheels such that the vehicle is held stationary; subsequently initiating motion from rest whilst brake torque continues to be applied to the one or more wheels. The strategy may also be implemented to maintain vehicle progress on low friction surfaces. The vehicle driver may be commanded to vary a control input, such as accelerator pedal position, in order to facilitate the maintaining of progress.
